Hello Mr. Tore,
I am in the process of setting up the Skizzenbuch for the VIIC U-Boat in a 11 x 17 leather post binder. I have the basic outline for the manual in MS Word. However, I find it very difficult to read the schematics so graciously provided by Captain Jerry Mason on the uboatarchive.net web site. It's almost impossible to determine pipe line colors on the black and white copies of the original German documents. I don't know where I found Plate17 and Plate 27 that are a light tan color and you can see the color striping on the pipes. In addition, you can tell that when a pipe crosses another that it is not a junction. Does anyone know where the source for those documents came from and is it possible to get the full set. I am only having "Staples" to print one copy for my own personal library and the leather post binder is very expensive ($230.00).
I understand the Negative Buoyancy Tank is vented internally through a muffler when it is being flooded in a surface maneuver. Are there photos pointing to the control device (Valve) and the muffler in the control room? I believe I would like to add photos of things like that to my Skizzenbuch.
Regards,
