No manuals

But this is the best you will get

AJS by FW Neill

make sure you buy the one from 1931 onwards

I tend to favour Haycraft books, I have not compared Neil & Haycraft for info on the 1933 mod 7 & 10 Theres very little factory literature.
In 1931 there was a handbook and sales cat for OHC models ( Wolverhampton AJS )This was during the depression, theres very little factory literature during that period. It was 1937 before another OHC models handbook was published. I do have all the literature mentioned inc . prewar manuals by Neil & Haycraft that best cover 1933 models. Would you like me to check just how much info these books contain. Factory handbooks are not that informative.

Shogun. I have a CD that I bought from Morgan on the Brit bike site. It cost me £40 but it has everything on it from 1926 to 1967. However there is a e-maill address on it ;; kimthecdman@techinfo.com.au>
Hope this helps.
Regards John.

In all fairness it should be noted that Kim the CD-man is a pioneer in scanned material - the files I have seen from him are not copies of files in the Archives, and I don't think he could have got them anywhere else but by scanning them on his own. He tagged his work low-tech by placing a small printed slip with "Kim the CD-man" on each page before scanning, a good indication that he did it the hard way.

That said, you can find most of the same files, if not all, for free in the Archives (purpose scanned by me or members of the Egroups).

Rgds,
Christian
