Earl B. Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 On the early trunks, was the lining material cloth or wallpaper? Mine has been replaced, and I've only seen pictures and can't tell what the original material is. thanks, B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen_Dyneto Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Most if not all Packard factory trunks 32 thru 40 were "K" trunks. Interior was lined with a multicolor paper incorporating the emblem of the K company. I can take a picture some time when I have film in the camera if you want.

Earl B. Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Owen, yes, please, I'd like a good picture of the lining..thank you very much!! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mitchell Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 K stands for Kam Lee company. There are a couple of different types of lining that were used, and it is a cloth, but it is embossed, usually blue. I have several trunks and can send you some photos. I don't know of anyone who reproduces it. packard12s@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I stand corrected, it is indeed a cloth on my 34 trunk, it's blue with a large yellow/red "K" emblem in the corner of the lid near the right-side hinge. You'd think after 45 years of looking at it I'd know! I did take some pictures and will post when I finish the roll of film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Roll of film?? What's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard Library Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Poster,all of the trunks were lined with a cloth - and the luggue (sic) came in different configurations. I have posted a service info from 1935 talking about the new junior cars. but you can see the different configs. will look in the earlier service info back to 1929 and see if it mentions what cloth. hope this helps.

idrjoe_sandiego Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Library Director, excuse me for sounding computer illiterate, but what kind of file is a .djvu ? What kind of viewer do you have to use?Thx, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard Library Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Joe no problemThere are basically two different types of "reader file" one is PDF and the other is DJVU. They both work the same, the difference is that when an item is scanned the djvu file requires alot less of disc space when you store the image file. than does pdf many of these books ie: parts books are over 350 pages. Websites are charged by how much disc space they use.On the "The Packard Library site it shows the plyg in that is needed .here is a link DJVU plugin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it very unusual to have a different storage format than PDF. I believe JPGs would take a lot less space for scanned items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigKev Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I actually scan everything as a JPGs, then convert them to PDF, a lot smaller than scanning directly to PDF or scanning to TIFF and then converting. All the service manuals I have online I broke into sections for easy downloading. Also some of the parts lists (manuals) have almost 1,000 pages in them. So those were real fun to scan. Currently have over 5 gigs of scanned Packard content online, as well as over 4,000 photos of Packards, vintage Packard Adverts, and all the individual part plates from all the of the scanned Parts List for easy reference.While many server providers may advertise unlimited server space, or unlimited traffic, you will find that they usually have restrictions when the rubber meets the road. I quickly outgrew my "unlimited" shared server account, and had to go to a virtual dedicated server to handle the traffic. Usually you will see that they have a restriction on the number of concurrent connections, and that is what you need to service alot of users at the same time.Just my $.02, back to the topic at hand.......

tbirdman Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Kev,Good input. I usually don't scan as PDFs but stay with JPGs. I think JPGs and PDFs are fine. I just don't need another plug-in and file format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigKev Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I find that PDFs work best for keeping multiple pages together since JPG is not a multi-page format like PDF or even TIFF is. When I setup the website I wanted to settle on a format that everyone would have access to regardless of their OS or computer platform. Also I have lots of folks that donate the content to the website already in PDF for me, so that way I don't always have to do the work. I wanted the website to be as community driven as possible. So far so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
