That's great news!

I went back and updated the MIA list in the 57-58 Intro text to reflect the recent contribution of Issue Nos. 319 and 320. (Thanks, Howard!)

However, I won't be able to download those new issues until sometime next week, when I have access to a WiFi hotspot with sufficient speed; all I have here at home is dial-up. I should be able to add another 10 topics from those two SSBs alone.

Meanwhile, with all these addtional Service Letters coming, a lot of forethought needs to be put into groupings for future installments before jumping in with work on the content. It came naturally for the postwar cars, which follows a line that runs somewhere between the shop manual and parts book coverage, but the coverage of the prewar parts books seems to meander all over the place.

For example, while there's a 1935-41 parts book and one for the 1942 non-Clipper models, there are also separate editions for the 1937-39 Super 8 and V12 models, the 1932-36 12 Cylinder models, and the 1933-36 8 Cylinder models.
