Hi, sorry to resurrect an old thread but…
Following 2 years (!) of prevarication about what to do about all these old volumes of ME that I have cluttering up my workshop.I have finally made a decision.
I realised that I am not interested in club reports dated in the 1980's and I am not going to be building a large traction engine or a locomotive of any gauge (well maybe a gauge 1).
As heartbreaking as I expect it to be, I have most of the 1960's, all 70's, 80's and 90's volumes but I intend to be ruthless and cut out all those articles that I want to keep (mostly George Thomas and Tubal Cain). I like hard copies but I may scan these in the future.
I shall create a filing process and store those articles that I am interested in such as tools, stationary engines etc.
I have done this last year with the EIM and Horological journal and to be honest it has created some space and I have not missed any articles that I have not, and never had been interested in.
Here goes….
I wonder what you all do with old volumes of ME's?
All the best
