These pictures are derived from photos (not scans) of the thick leaves of the Pressed Steel prospectus. The leaves were not lying flat, and the photos were taken at an angle, hence non of the straight lines are straight and the images are taller than they are on paper.
The numbers with the photos refer to the image file numbers of Guy Massey (GM), Barry Massey's son, who supplied this information.
