Hey Guys,
A wealth of great advice and information is shared
regularly via this mail list. Today has been a prime example. It's
hard to estimate how many screw-ups, dead ends, and second-best solutions I've
avoided because of the contributions of others.
I've developed a "project guide and manual" format or
outline which is attached as a Word document. I plan to use one copy
(the Project Guide) to catagorize and organize information including
publications, websites, e-mails, and my own personal notes as source
material for each of the topics which must be addressed during the design and
build of a sub. I have only established the higher level outline at this
point, however most of the listed topics will also have an A, B, C, etc.
This will include general information and theory applicable to all small
manned submersibles.
A second copy (the Project Manual) will be specific
only to my project, however the outline is the same. Obviously I'll
still have to develop an Operating Manual for the sub.
If you have any suggestions on how it could be improved,
please share them. If you already have something of a similar nature
that is as good or better, please post that for all as well.
Thanks much,
Jim
