We purchased a special tabloid scanner in order to make these treasures available to you in their original form.

It takes approximately 45 minutes to scan and upload one 28-page edition. Some editions are 40 pages. and  some include an extra 16-page PROGRESS SECTION.

The Junior  F.O.I  and Junior M.G.T. in Detroit are working to complete this task.

We would like to offer them compensation for their work.
