Old literature
on photographic and microscope equipment  

These are PDF copies of old manuals, booklets and sales brochures. They are hard to get and contain useful information on equipment which has not been in production for many years. I see often photocopies or electronic copies of similar manuals for sale on the Internet, and I would rather give away copies of mine for free. I can see no copyright notice on these manuals, so I assume they are not copyrighted.
