DDMI

Manufacturing Information (DDMI) documents were produced for use by Equipment Department, as well as commercial companies that made designs under contract and/or licence. 

DDMIs were printed in small quantities as they were only needed to facilitate manufacture.  As a result, very few appear to be available now.
Here are some examples scanned by Martin Ellen in 2024, after keeping them in a box for many years! (see picture).  Most of them are incomplete as it was not worth scanning full Parts Lists, or large Details and Assembly drawings (which gave mechanical information such as the location of holes in panels). Many of the sheets are faded or "yellowed"!  Circuit diagrams from A1 sheets appear as separate picture files (linked from "Circuit").

If you have DDMIs that you are willing to scan, please let me know so that I could add them to BBCeng.
