Re: Packard Parts List

I am wondering if it would help in finding specific plates and if the format would allow some kind of thumbnail page where the associated plates would show as soon as the main category -- air conditioning, body, brakes, clutch etc was chosen. On the pages with multiple plates, divide the page into sections that would still allow a decent sized thumbnail.

A case in point is the spindle just mentioned in another post. Opening the suspension and steering section brought up 14 plates and no real way to know which was the appropriate plate without knowing a bit on how Packard organized their parts lists. That one was easier than some others because steering knuckle was called out in the title of a page but if it was not or someone was looking only for spindle not realizing Packard might call it something else, rather than having to guess or open each page something could point the way.
