All--
A while back a friend of mine put me in contact with the Northeast Classic Car Museum concerning some engine manuals for the Wright R-1820, and I ended up with a very nice set of original manuals and catalogs.
I was recently contacted again by the museum about some more items they'd found. I'm not looking to add these to my collection, so I'm posting the email I got (with permission) to see if any of you all would like some of this stuff.
Feel free to contact Brenda Rose at the Northeast Classic Car Museum,
Brenda@classiccarmuseum.orgThe museum is in Norwich, NY.
Here's the email info:
