I am delighted to announce that an entire new section has been added to the Archive web site today. The new section contains all the Austin 7 and related Engineering Drawings the Archive holds. As you will see, some of these are original drawings made by Stan Edge as he worked with Herbert Austin as they designed the prototype. The collection also includes drawings of the Jameison Twin Cam engine, reputed to have been drawn by Murray Jameison himself. The drawings are of varying quality as far as the digital images are concerned, some dating back to an earlier time when digital techniques were not what we have access to now. In the coming weeks and months, it is planned to re-digitise these drawings and replace the images on the web site..

It might be worth adding that, with the publication of these drawings, the Archive Project started some 3 or 4 years ago is largely complete. The emphasis now will turn to a more 'care and maintenance' process, digitising and adding items to the web site as they turn up as we continue to sort throught the collection or acquire new material. Offers of items that might be a useful addition to the collection are always keenly sought...
