Did you know it was signed or did it just show up that way?

Thank you, I was looking for an image of the cover.
I am not sure what criteria Google Dive software uses to display the first page as a graphic for the file, but the first page is indeed that cover you were looking for.

With respect to the other documentation projects such as the Patent Submission view and understanding of the Shopsmith Bandsaw, I will resume that in a few days.

With respect to the Shopsmith Motor Guide, it is now on hold. I have decided to physically acquire more motor models, then disassemble and document them on my own bench at some time in the future.

Do you know which motors you will include? The most common ones I have seen are the 1/2 HP and 3/4 HP A. O. Smith, which is understandable since it is the motors Magna sold to go with them. GE, Montgomery Wards and Craftsman are others that have come on ones I have owned/restored.

What I am considering:

For the 10E and 10ER:

A.O. Smith 3/4 HP Motor suppled by Magna - not the user supplied 3rd Party motors.

For the Mark 5/ Mark V:

Franklin 3/4 HP
GE 3/4 HP
A.O. Smith 3/4 HP
GE 1 1/8 HP
A.O. Smith 1 1/8 HP
Emerson 1 1/8 HP

I do not propose to do the SawSmith Table Saw or Radial Arm Saw Motors even though they were unique motors.

I have some of the 1960's Mark VII Motor data which I will include. I want to do wiring diagrams for the Mark V motors in a manner similar to the ones I included for the Mark VII manual I redid previoiusly.

I do not presently have the Professional Planer, Crafters Station or Stand Alone system motors but willing to include them if someone else has them.

If I disassemble my Professional Planer motor at some point, I will include it, but believe there are more than one type.

Does that help?

This is simply awesome. I even sacrificed some of my limited hotspot data to download it so I wouldn't forget by the time I got to my office.

It's especially nice to see so many various uses for the jointer that I would have never thought of before. Of course I may never attempt most of them, as I've learned much safer methods with other tools, but this is still a valuable resource.

Great Job!
