fv1609 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 What about a files section? This would be for reference info/articles. Perhaps only added to by you. I have over 250 A4 pages of MV related articles that I have written, which I would like to share. Once published, after a short they get forgotten about. As many of these took about 60 hours per article it is effort that I might as well benefit others. Amount of time excludes the time taken working with images, things perhaps are bit more difficult as I am dyslexic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Clive, that is a wonderful and a very generous offer and I would like to accept on behalf of all of HMVF members. I know what it is like to have the need to share information, by the sounds of it, it could be of great benefit to everyone. In the past I have been so frustrated by people who aren't willing to share or pass on information . What we can do is to create a 'library' section so everyone can share and post this sort of information as there are so many clever people out there., the topics can be made a 'sticky' so that they don't get moved. No worries about dyslexia, I will sort that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 fv1620, Clive if you're the Clive I think you are (Windscreen?) then that is indeed a most generous offer. It's been a pleasure to read your material in the past with its well constructed presentation, good technical info and well researched content. I am personally very indebted to you for your effort, and a library of those articles here on HMVF will bring much value to the site. If you need a hand in scanning or uploading I'll be very happy to help out. Karoshi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 Thanks both for your kind comments. I never know whether they get read or are even wanted. But I try to write about something that I would have liked to have read about myself & that hasn't been covered before. I do get carried away with trivia that I unearth in official documents. This will be well illustrated in the next one on British tentage. Not an exciting subject you may think but there should be little read-bites to catch the eye. eg Question for the group: when do you think the first circular tent was used? All the articles are in Word & I can easily convert to pdf. There are some which (I think) have particular reference value eg; oils etc, understanding part numbers, marking vehicles, fault finding in 90amp charging systems etc Although MVT members would have seen them the articles go back 15 years & members come & go & its not always easy to dig out an old mag to find an article. I'll perhaps do the oils one first & send it to Jack. Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
