Old Disney manuals
Continuing in the series of interesting old manuals, this 1976 operating manual for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland takes us back to an age before personal computers, typesetting, and Illustrator. Examining each other's manuals, either contemporary or vintage, provides a great way to learn by example (both "do" and "don't do") and for those in the software industry reminds us that the field is both large and varied.
