In response to Don Teach's question about nickelodeon drawings, I
wondered if he has or knows about the Vestal Press Technical Series.
I don't know if they are still available under the new management. I
believe that I have the whole set but am not sure; after I bought
everything that they relating to my collection I seemed to stop getting
their catalog.
I have the following drawing sets:
Technical Series No. 1, Coinola X roll frame for "O" rolls,
By Harvey N. Roehl.
Technical Series No. 2, The Seeburg Rewind-Replay Gear Shifter
(Pneumatic Lock and Cancel Type), By Michael L. Kitner.
Technical Series No. 3, How To Rebuild The Model A Ampico,
By David Saul.
Technical Series No. 4, Wurlitzer Band Organ Bell Unit,

Most of the series are fold-out blueprint size drawings, some with text
and photos. If they are available for reprint they might make a good
start for Don's set.
