Hello.

I’ve noticed too many missing pages all over the 121 issues.

Many articles are not complete, it’s very frustrating.

Please, this subscription is not free, the editor must do work to make it usable for the customers .

There are so many mistakes that for the moment, inventory of all the missing pages is a time consuming task.

Regards.

If you check one of the other posts with regard to this, David has already stated that the Mags are going to be COMPLETELY rescanned.

To whom it may concern,

After the complete rescan, I note that for the following issues, downloading of the following page (for each issue) and indeed of all subsequent pages, is not possible. The pages can be seen in the viewer, but the download process “hangs” at the stated page number.

Issue   Page

6           71

8 53

16         62

Hi all,

According to list, issue 83 has been rescanned but I have just printed ‘Electonics in the Model Engineers Workshop’ and the circuit diagrams are illegible. Other pages in this issue are not so bad but, not the same quality as later issues. Any chance of a rescan of the rescan?

Regards

It seem that the publishers are happy about receiving the money for subscriptions for the digital archives, but does not supply an email for the responsible person for this department.

Please give us a name with whom we can communicate about issues around the digital archive.

Hi There

I will reroute emails to the correct person.

Different people are responsible for different aspect.

Also, sometimes I can sort problems without asking someone else.

Hi There

That is because they are still loading them back up.

I can confirm that at this time, issue No. 83 still has some legibility problems with the circuit diagrams.

issue 12 – page 12 missing, all subsequent ‘double page’ spreads are a page out. page 73 is duplicated after 74. (so the page count is still correct)

secondly, this issue advertises ‘full size plans’ – but i cant see them. I expected all material published to be available. Can they be scanned and made available please? (at a higher resolution if possible!)
