When trying to complete one of my 1913 outfits I used the parts list generator.
When I compared the parts list with the 1913 manual I have, I found that the Generator listed 4x1" pulleys while according the manual there should be 6x1" pulleys in all 2 - 6 oufits. Are there different part lists used in the manual.

Reply: It depends where in 1913 you are. The original 1913 manual includes the 1912 contents, with 6 1" pulleys. It is thought that most if not all 1913 outfits actually came with bossed parts, and so two 'loose' pulleys and four 'fast' ones. I don't believe that any outfits were supplied with six bossed pulleys. The 1913 "Supplementary" manual has this new parts listing. If your outfit has bossed parts there should be only four of them.

Barry how do we access your website to view the current manuals? If it's the sarcasmo one the links to pages 2, 3, 4, 5 do not seem to be working.

Charles, I have a 858901 T-rex Speedplay manual (believed now out of production)that I have scanned & created a PDF file, problem is it's 246Mb, have you a way of reducing the file size?

Reply: Hi Bob, can you email me each of the pages separately? They need to be compressed much better before the PDF manual is assembled.

Hi,

I'm also looking for the manual for the 857901 Helicopter.
