[Zmagnette] Wiring diagrams and windscreens

Fri Dec 6 14:24:22 MST 2013

Allen:
     The longest time for me to build the wiring diagram in Visio is the 
time to build the icons for the various components to look as much like 
the original diagram as possible.  Would $2.00 a copy for PDFs be too 
much?  That way people who want to print it can take the PDF to their 
nearest Kinko's and those who like to use a PC or tablet could use it 
electronically.  Also, I will need some input about what size most folks 
would want it to be for printing and the corrections that need to made.  
I know about the wiper motor, and I'll check about the clock when I get 
home tonight, are there any more problems?
