Where is everyone #5

This book talk brings back bad memories of Cat microfiche

 

I’m that old too. John Deere microfiche was just as bad

 

I just have to find it online. Teresa is the bookkeeper for a print and sign shop here in town so they'll print it out and bind it for me pretty fast.

 

How did you know which one was stuck open ??

 

Microfiche was a big deal when it first came out.

 

The last time it happened i had to buy a little tool that threads into the fuel rail where u can cap off each injector line and test one by one. And then when u find the one that is stuck open it will start back up and run on 5 cylinders

 

Clark Equipment had microfiche, then put on tape so the would run to selection faster. OK, zip there, but the piece of an assembly you wanted might be 3 screens over from the base. So, find, examine flick forward, flick back , that's it, write down he number..

 

We actually found a machine for viewing microfiche during our spring cleanup this year. Only myself and about 3 others actually knew what it was. By the sounds of it I think I'm lucky I never had to use one lol.

 

One thing that really sucks about the paper manuals is they don't update. More than once I've opened up a book and seen someone decades prior had penciled in updated specs or other useful information in the margin.
