Booklet from Norwood Factory Tour

Back when I was in high school I toured the Norwood Plant.
They passed out this little booklet that I have had since then.
(thought I would share)

This was sometime in 1983.

(Scan is not great since the original is on thick paper embossed with a vinyl texture pattern)

Re: Booklet from Norwood Factory Tour

I'm not photobucket smart so hopefully someone can help. Why are the images always displayed at a 1"x1" picture on photobucket? How do I see them larger? Do I have to join to see them at full size? The top of the page is titled "Mobile Photobucket" but I'm looking at it from my Mac.

Re: Booklet from Norwood Factory Tour

Very cool, any chance you could post and share (on photobucket) the original high resolutions scans as the ones up there are very low resolution.

Would like to print this in decent quality!

Again really glad you shared this with all of us!

Very cool. I toured the plant in 1987 before they closed it @ the USCC Nats. Awesome time.

Shouldn't have to join. I'm also on a Mac, and not a photobucket member and I can see them fine. The album displays as a slide show with the small thumbnails in the bottom left corner and the main picture center screen in decent size. Could be a browser setting?

FTR I think Flickr>>>>photobucket, but photobucket seems to be the general standard.

To the OP, thanks for sharing...very cool.

Re: Booklet from Norwood Factory Tour

Sorry - been away for a while.
I haven't used photobucket much for anything other than general forum posts - so I'm not very photobucket smart either.

I posted this on flickr also:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/6778861...7627738708658/
The original size of each page is 5.5" X 8.5".

Flickr help says:
"How do I download a photo? - Select the photo and open the actions menu, then click the '"View all Sizes" link inside the menu. On the next page, choose the size you want to download and click the link in the "Download" section."

I found out that these sites reduce the resolution when you upload unless you upgrade to Pro ver$ion.
For those who want, I can email pictures if you send me a PM (have patience though since reply may not be immediate).

That is awsome! Thanks for sharing! I have the same problem with my photo bucket. It used to show full screen pics but not anymore for me.

Re: Booklet from Norwood Factory Tour



The sad fact is that America is a shadow of its former self and this plant is what, a parking lot last time I read?
