Joe:

I spent over 30 years doing Technical Illustrations for two of the 'Big Three'.

If you want a very nice VR illustration for the front of your book - just send my a photo taken at the angle you need and I'll do a nice piece of line art for you.

No Charge.

Later . . .

Let's see what Veeder Root says first.
I will give them a couple weeks.
Who knows, they might respond next week but I doubt it.
If I don't get a response I will send you what you need.
Thanks!!
Joe

..why protect something that is OBSOLETE?

Same reason you cant reproduce old Texaco, Mobil, Coke images of items that are obsolete. I would imagine it's the VR name itself rather than the actual item as the problem.

Now I applaud your efforts on your research and I seriously doubt anyone would have a problem with what you are doing.

But in our "sue-happy" world you have to CYA. Nothing like getting a cease and desist letter from some attorney...

I will not be using the VEEDER ROOT name, or copying any of their literature. Just wanted to use the pat drawing.

Ok, clue the dumb 'ol plumber in as to what a CYA is.

I work in engineering and have a design patent in my name. Patent attorneys are extremely expensive.

Tell them you have re-written their REPAIR Manual that includes the Model #'s x x x x, so that anyone having one can fix them.

I told them what I was doing.
It kinda surprises me that they have no archives.
The letter didn't show much interest in what I am doing.

....this is just for the use of the pat pic for the ID thingy.
It might take more than another year to complete the rebuild manual. 4-5 heads and 5-6 variators it may take a while.

Everytime I think I am close to done on the ID another thought or issue comes up and I have to add or edit.

The last thing recently was the 40, 40-A computer interchange issue.
20+ years doing it and I am still learning.
