A spot for keeping track of especially cool (informative, fun) videos, photos, scans and other links about record cutting. (You can post them in other sections. Eventually they may end up here.) NOTE: Please put *Circuits, Schematics and Manuals* in the section with that name.

Presto 1-D Manual Available

Hey, fellow disc-cutters,

At the request of another member I have scanned an original manual for the Presto 1-D cutterhead and created a PDF. Also included is an article from Communication and Broadcast Engineering magazine from March, 1937, written by George Saliba, Chief Engineer of Presto. This article describes the design criteria for what was the forerunner of the Presto 1-series cutterheads. Good reading!

Anyone interested can send me their e-mail address in a 'private message' and I will e-mail them the PDF. It's a really huge file for some reason (12M for 9 pages!), probably because I did the scan at 300dpi, but at least it's as legible as the original sheets.

The article is no longer downloadable. Does anyone have the file Presto_1D_manual_n_article.pdf ? I am amazed that I never downloaded it.
