The Royal Metal Upright by Benjamin Edge & Jeff Schroff

Holy Encyclopedia, Batman!

Gawd Ben, do you know as much about Kirbys? I can't imagine where you would find time to learn, with all you know about the Royal!

This pdf is just an outline of what you could put to paper. I wish I could tell you, you'd have a marketable commodity if you wrote that book, but I know the market would be fairly small. I for one would buy it, though!

I just remembered the information I wanted to add. That is, "The Best Model To Have". I've got about ten days to search for those diagrams, and add that best model chapter. Better get to it...

John,

I wish you luck on your book, and I know it won't be on everyone's list.

Again, in the realm of Kirby it will be a tough journey to locate any master service books, especially those for the commercial units.

~Ben

PDF Export Programs

John,

The OpenOffice suite is free and will export to PDF. It will also read from (and write to) just about any standard word processing file format.

As someone brand-new to the world of Royals, btw, I have to tell you that I really enjoy The Royal Metal Upright booklet. Eagerly anticipating having one in front of me!

No Book For Me

Thanks Michael, but it seems any solution other than the genuine Adobe application is able to keep the text and image hyper-links intact.

That's OK. Within the next week I'm going to polish it up a bit and leave it. It's hardly a book. It's just a compilation of Ben & Jeff's contributions to Vacuumland.

The true, unwritten book about the Royal Metal Upright is in Ben's head. That tome would be the last word on the subject. I doubt there is a Royal employee on the planet that knows as much about it. And, what little Ben doesn't know about the history, Jeff could easily fill in.
