Old copy of user's manual $500 Total--$300 Tip/$200 Question

Expires: 15 Oct 2005 10:54 PDT Question ID: 568399 |
I am looking for a version 1.0 of the user manual for an electronic parts catalog system called "PAIS" that was used by Crysler car dealerships around 1988-89 time frame. The manual was titled simply "PAIS User's Manual" and was published by Bell & Howell Publication Systems Company. PAIS stands for Parts Access Information System. A version 1.X of the manual may also be a winning candidate if I can verify revision date and it is sufficiently close to date of version 1.0. In general I need to have enough information to get my hands on the manual and be able to document where it came from. | |

Justin, Thank you for your fast response. I will look into this information, but from what I can see on web page it looks like this is from 1990 which would probably be a version 2.0 manual. The date is really critical for our purposes. We need a version that was clearly published in 1988. I will keep let you kno what if anything turns up from this though. |

It is my advise that you re-contact the company... Bell & Howell Publications who published the manual, they should be able to inform you of the exact printing company who printed the many copies of the original version of the manual, and there it shall be, midst the archive file. Printing companies always keep copies of literature they have printed (especially for such a large corportaion; Chrystler Corp). Possible location-solved, hands on possession-archive "sticky finger", origination "see virtual manual." |

I have found 1989 Chrystler Dodge Plymouth Parts Book., and 1989 Chrystler Imports Ram 50 parts book. Both are waiting for your answer. Which one is it? We'll be waiting. |

Pafalafa, Thank you for your efforts, we have more recent version of the manual and understand that some of dates back to early 80's but really need the original manual so that there is no dispute over what was originally in the manual. The problem comes from the fact that there were revisions and some question over what was revised when. |

gq44, Thank you for your response, the parts books are different than the PAIS user manaul. The user manual is a guide to an electronic parts catalog called PAIS. We need version 1.0 of that User Manual. Contacted printer may be productive, I will look into that. Could you clarify for me what you meant by Possible location-solved, hands on possession-archive "sticky finger", origination "see virtual manual."? |

Justin, I contacted the Univerisity of Maryland and there were quite helpful. Turns out what they had was a brochure promoting the system and not the user manual though. |
