It's the same with many machine tool parts manuals. While lots fall into the 'satisfactory' class, others must have been expensive to produce with wonderfully clear exploded-component drawings - or sectional ones taken from the original design drawing. Others took a shortcut and just laid the parts in 'assembly order' and took a photograph; some Russian and German ones were designed to help maintenance engineers in remote locations by including detailed dimensioned drawings of parts "subject to constant wear".
