I apologise for not being more responsive, but I've been laid up with a very bad cold for the past week. I need to point out that the Optacon Training manuals that I have are not in perfect shape. The Stage 2 Manual is probably in the best shape, but all have been used. In the Stage 1 Manual and the Automatic Page Scanner Manual some pages may be soiled, torn, or missing. And all of the manuals are over 30 years old so the paper is beginning to turn yellow. The Stage 2 Manual has a 1973 Copyright mark, but I have no idea who owns that now. It seems to me Robert Englebretson has the best ideas of what to do if interested people want access. If Robert gives me an address, I will send them to him unless there is some objection.
