At 34" wide and 7 feet in length I doubt that scanning them is possible.


The OCE plotter/scanner in our office would be able to scan a drawing that size. I'd be willing to help the cause... if Randy's OK with it.

Rod,

Thanks for the offer!!


This morning, I drove to a print shop in Columbus where I was able to get the prints scanned.

My next issue is how to post them here. I suspect that if I post a 7 foot long pdf, it could get a bit ugly, if it is even possible. What I have done is make an 8 1/2 X 11 print of one of them, and then scan that as a jpeg.

The scans are really sharp and clear. What I am posting; not so much.

The print shop was not able, (or willing?) to scan the prints with the blue background and white lines.

Any suggestions on posting?

This is a scan that I made of a detail from the above print.

This is a photo of the engine shown in the above drawing. The photo is from my copy of Kettering's "History and Development of the 567 Series General Motors Locomotive Engine."
