The last few days we have been doing a lot of research on the instrumentation cabling. The WDM, which are all the wiring diagrams and schematics for the L-1011, that Paul Talbott found for the museum a few months ago is on Microfiche. Microfiche is not a very common format any longer because most documentation today is supplied as PDF files on CD-ROMs, DVDs or are simply downloaded. So a big obstacle was having a Microfiche reader. Clay Young, from Aero Maintenance Group - Precision Electronics here in Atlanta, is letting the museum borrow a Microfiche reader for the next few weeks. This is going to help a lot because it allows us a quick deep dive into the cockpit instrumentation schematics. Thank you Clay!
The microfiche frames are organized by ATA and come in these neat books.
The drawings are the WDM drawings furnished by Lockheed to Delta Airlines in the 1980s and are perfect for our project.
