If that ever changes I want to hear about it! But you may find these patent drawings useful for the Uni I. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1283/881614046_ef2e7144cb_b.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1022/881613994_7dc1a3d8b7_b.jpg Daniel Morris The Arm Letterpress Brooklyn, NY You can’t buy blueprints of the Vandercooks beyond what is in the manual.

That would definitely help understand and problem solve a lot of questions. Does Paul Moxon or Fritz sell blueprints of the Universals???

I will take a photo for you tomorrow. I haven't tried using it on my Universals. I prefer the control of the foot actuated grippers. The feature would be good for proofing in quantity, but not for editioning or accurate registration. As for technical manuals I don't think there was one unless it was a binder given to the service technicians. If that exists I would pay good money for one!
