Rather dry reading but I admire the guy's dedication. I would never have had the patience.

Thanks Bob, I used it right away.  A friend is restoring a British-made one-pounder "heavy automatic" "pom-pom" gun and can't find the drawings to make some missing parts.  I sent him the link and told him to get in touch with Mr. Day.  He found Day in an Ordnance Society directory.  Thanks for the tip.
