Very nicely done, Rory! One of the best still life images I've seen here in a while.

Thank you, Jim.
No idea where to post this, It's still life record of a book's pages, found on a 4X5 microfiche positive on clear film.
Very scratched up film, the print is from one 6.5X8 mm tiny page capture impossible to read on a light table.
Enlarged 17.5X onto 5X7 RC matte with a Leitz V35. I can read the print. The scan is poor and doesn't come close to the optical enlargement. I am sure somebody could do a better scan.
Just an oddity I wanted to try. I bought the parts fiche 35 years ago for a 1964 Datsun Fairlady Roadster SPL310 restoration. I made 400% after driving it for 5 years.

Sad grayscale, but nice picture anyway :-)
30 Years ago, we drove the 160er Fairlady for a while, which wasn't really available in Germany.
Steering wheel on the wrong side :-)

I recognise those microfiches... I used to rummage through those for the Datsun 240Z I had in the eighties.

The weird thing about this car was the body was metric and all mechanicals were SAE sized. The brake cylinder repair kits were off the shelf 1 inch kits, for $2 each. I figure the drive line was made on MacArthur Plan machines and body was new metric. It looked a lot like the MGB, but both came out the same year. Bought it from a dead man's storage for $100, titled it in Georgia, traded tools to an apprentice bodyman to fix panels and paint. DIY bumper, cheap taillights. I figure $600 all in. Never found a folding or any top and enjoyed it topless for the 5 years. Here's a link to my 2 red heads. God rest their souls. Scroll down.

Nice, Randy. I have a soft spot for the old Datsuns.
