[SCG] Call for materials - Club inventory

We need to start moving forward on the long-term project of developing our
Stock manuals.  I would like to begin by polling the membership to see what
resources we may have among us.  Please e-mail me (or the list) a list of
any research materials you may possess.  I am especially interested in
original parts manuals, sales brochures, assembly manuals, build sheets, or
any other original literature from the time of original manufacture.

but most of the historic items)
