Tores mailbox VIIC and VIIC/41 operation and technical details

[Katuna]

I think we beat this one to death awhile back. Tore chimed in too. There just aren't any photos or drawings of the cabinet components. Scroll back a page or two and there are a couple schematics and one partial pic of a magnetic switch. It's as good as you're going to get.

Is it time yet, Don? Just realized today is the 16th.

Hello Katuna,


I sent a link of the final US Copyrighted version of Skizzenbuch to four (4) Websites on the 14th of August, and they are working on a means for distribution... Since the file size is 715 MB, this does present a problem and they are looking for a solution.

Hi Don
Thank you for you Tore et all for putting this together over the years.
It will be fantastic to read.


Are you able to share who the 4 sites are and any idea if any of them have sorted this as yet?
Thanks

[Don Prince]

Hello Raymic1,

Try this:

Copy the link into your browse and hit return, and the skizzenbuch.zip file will be downloaded

Then click on the ZIP file and then select the PDF and the Folder to be unzipped into your designated folder.

Let me know if this works....

Hi Again Don
I've had a quick preview and you guys have done a fantastic job. This will be an awesome resource for the U-boat community.
Fantastic that this knowledge has been passed on for future generations of enthusiasts and historians.
Well done. Much appreciated.
cheers

Hello All,


Just in case you were worried... Mr. Tore and his wife are on a vacation at their farm and he has limited internet (Slow) access. They are celebrating his wife's 90th Birthday. Somehow, at 78; I feel old and tired at times... There must be something in the water in Norway for people to have such good health and longevity!


Kind regards,
Don_

Don - What a wonderful piece of literature. There are some very interesting bits of information in there. I just gave it a quick glance front to back but I'm looking forward to sitting down the weekend and reading through as much as I can digest in one sitting. You have done a masterful job. A huge thanks to you and all of those who assisted.


I would love to see this in print. I'm old fashioned. I like having a book in my hand. I will say, however that it is nice for my aging eyes to be able to zoom in on a photo rather than squint at it.


PS  - Glad to hear Tore is on vacation.

Hello Katuna,


Skizzenbuch is protected to not permit changes to be made, but I did not protect it from being printed. I know most PDF protection can easily be hacked and that is the reason for the copyright. I took Skizzenbuch and had a previous version printed at a print shop on card stock paper and that cost over $200. I since trashed the printed copy because I have made many corrections and additions. I plan on printing it again in a 11 x 17 format on glossy card stock 80 pound paper. I have a leather bound metal post binder (the main reason for the 1.75 inside seam), so the book will be about 2.5 inches thick with the Wallet Folder in the back of the book. The card stock, printing, and the post binder total cost is about $500.


Regards,

Yikes! Well, computer version it is then. Let's see, if I print 10 pages a week at work, it'll only take me a year to print it out. Yeah, that works for me!


I'm sure there will be people that would love the leather bound copy. It's a great assembly of highly detailed information.

Hello All,

It looks like Skizzenbuch has been available on the Subcommittee website for about a week under "The U-boat Pen" forum and has had quite a few downloads.

Thanks to Wink Grise and Dougie Martindale Skizzenbuch is now available on the AMP website in the section book/submarines/Uboats:

https://amp.rokket.biz/lib_uboats.shtml

I will provide other updated when they become available...

Regards,

I have just thumbed through the book. Holy cow!  An amazing work.
Whatever happened to the fellow in this thread who was making a 3D model of a uboat?
Hope all is well with Mr. Tore these days.  I have not been back here in a while.
