MicrFiche Syncro parts

["René C. Duvekot" <brazil@gate.net>]

Derek:

I would really be interested in a copy of the fiches, so I hope you go
ahead with the copies.

FYI, I work for an aircraft manufacturer (Embraer of Brazil), and perhaps I
can help find some way to read them, even if it may mean transforming their
content into digital (CD-ROM or files) or hard copy format.  In Brazil we
may have computers that can make the conversion.

If you would like me to look into this, please let me know.

As far as the 2.3 liter displacement, I suggest you check to see what the
bore and stroke measurements are in the fiche (if available), as they may
be referring to the 2.22 liter as 2.3 for conveneince.

Cordially,

René
