New Book - Understanding Emissions Controls

Some of you may have seen this book advertised on Facebook today.  I couldn't pass it up as it is a 1986 Ford training book and, therefore, fits into my plan to ensure this site is the world's premier documentation site for Bullnose trucks.

It isn't here yet, and won't get scanned in for quite some time even after it gets here, but I thought I'd give y'all a preview:  

Cool stuff Gary.

I wish i had the opportunity to study that book. Sorting the differences between the engineers theory vs the practical technitions understanding could be very interesting. It will ba a very valuable reference fir sure

Wow great find. I'm on a kick to collect any original printed material that might be relevant to Rocky (or other 70s-80s Fords) and this would be a great addition. I saw there was more than one listing up for this, so I picked one up too. I can be a backup if anybody here needs something from it.

Gary, since scanning takes time any chance you could just post the index/table of contents?

Cory - Emissions stuff isn't always thought to be cool, but having the documentation is my idea of cool.  

Matt - I'll get it on the site ASAP so you can study it.  But it hasn't even shipped yet, so it'll be a while before I can.

Chad - Once I set aside the time to do it scanning doesn't take all that long.  I take the book apart and then feed it into the scanner, about 30 sheets at a time.  The scanner does both sides in one go at about 1 sheet every two seconds.  However, it takes maybe 5 minutes per 30 pages to optical character recognize it.  So I can get through a 100 sheet book in maybe 20 minutes.

I can then just put the whole document on a page on the website, but I find it helpful to create links in the ToC to each chapter so people can go directly to the section in question.  That takes a bit more time but it isn't too difficult.

So yes, I could scan the ToC, but I can do the rest of the book fairly easily and quickly so will probably do that rather than just the ToC.  However, I could take a pic of the ToC and post it if that's all you are looking for.

no rush. it's just interesting. and hey, I've waited this long and didn't even know that book existed.
