Does this bring back memories?

American, British, French or German? We want to know about it.

An investment in the machine age

I am not sure how this could be saved in case the link goes down.

Similar to any other document copying, assuming it is a pc running windows and ms word, do the following:

Put curser at top of text, left click hold down button and drag to bottom of document until all required text is highlighted as in pic 1.
On keyboard, press Ctrl and hold down and then press C, this will copy to clipboard.
Open new page in Word, press Ctrl key holding down again and then press V, this will paste the text etc into document as in pic 2.
Edit out unwanted crap and save.
If that fails, !!JUNK!! copy out by long hand and write down the desired information onto clean vellum parchment in beautiful old English cancellaresca script using a writing implement made from a moulted flight feather delicately plucked from large bird.

Wouldn't that breach copyright?

If for educational use, it would be fine.

Well before my collecting time, but a interesting read.

I have a stack of old auction catalogues from the mid 80s to the late 90s its interesting to see the difference in the prices. Most machines have increased.

How Jennings seemed to be around the £800 marks back then. Wurlitzer 1015 was around 10K. The price of a small house in the 80s or at least in Leeds anyway.
