                           Due to excessive down loading of files this site will be closed
                           for  most of the summer. I will try to open it later this fall if health will 
                           permit it.

                                  

                            JPG Drawings

 

            These drawings in JPEG format were made by scanning
            letter size sheets and show up well on my monitor.
            If you have difficulty with the resolution please let me know
            and I can E-mail you larger files of individual drawings.
             In either case you will need a good graphics viewer.
