Just my luck, I already bought that book without the extra drawings. If anyone has them and can scan the G3 stuff I would appreciate it.

And I don't get any link to drawings from this.

I got nowhere with that link as well, though I did ok with the one embedded in my earlier post.

For what it is worth, here is the link to the rest of Mr. Wiswesser's (and Reading Model Engineers') drawings. It still works for me as of this writing.

It is sad to hear Mr. Wiswesser went into a nursing home this year. These things are inevitable, I suppose.

What will become of these blueprints and access to them? Has anyone or any organization arranged to carry on the work?

I also made a posting on the original thread. These drawings are an important resource and comments about continuity and availability probably belong on that thread.

The drawings that came in the folder of Mr. Wiswesser's book the G-3 was "Plate 27", my earlier post stating drawing #30 has more detail and cross section views. I don't have the ability to scan mine due to the size of the blueprint.
