Thanks to a good friend who knows my keen interest in watches, I have acquired an original loose leaf bound 1935 Hamilton watch materials catalog which also includes all Hamilton serial numbers completed to that date, and . . .

. . . a complete "NAVSHIPS 250-624-1 "Manual for the overhaul, repair and handling of Hamilton 35-size chronometer watch with parts catalog.

The materials book is 32 pages long and the service manual is 63 pages long. I can scan and put that on disc or archive it on our site. What say you and how do I archive it?

btw, I also have about 100 pages of Hamilton service updates for these watches.

I think it would be great on this site. And thank you very much for offering.

Dave,

This is a huge undertaking. I don't think this reference exist online and would be unique to IHC185.

Dave. That would be great and I know our members and the future members will appreciate it. Thank you so much for your contributions to this great club of ours.

A great addition to the site. I know I could use the info.

Dave,
If I were you, I would do both...put it on disc and archive here on the greatest horological site in the world, and I agree with Peter, it will be a major undertaking and I'm sure Lindell can show you how to archive it....

In the short time I have been a member here, you have contributed greatly to this site.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!

Regards,
Jerry

Hello Lindell,

I for one think there should be cetain things kept behind the 'members only' protection.

When I found this site, I was intrigued enough by the desire to see the 'members only auction' and the fee to join was reasonable enough to allow that. But it is the rest of the site and free commuication of the members that made me want to stay and contribute what little I can.

I know there are sites out there that if one wants to research on their site it costs $$$$, even for one day's use.

I am 'hooked for life' and when it is time to renew my membership, you will be receiving my renewal at the 'Life' level, for sure....

Just my thoughts....

Regards,

Jerry

I agree with Jerry, I think making certain areas like David's books members only. I think that might encourage more to join but also restrict those that only want the information for themselves without sharing anything else.

The membership fee of $12 has paid for itself many times over for me and I am glad this venue is available. For the casual observer it may not be worth $12, but for anyone else, more than worth the price of admission.

Roger

OK Will do!

$12.00 / 365 = $0.0328

What a deal!

Lindell, I have the first manual ready, and I don't have the faintest idea how to load it into the gelson stuff. Call me or something.
