TG57Roadmaster Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Hey Library Staff, Just clicked on the Homer Laughlin, Jr. car post to see if maybe it was related to the Homer Laughlin China Company that made dinnerware, perhaps most notably Fiestaware (from the '30's on). Clicking on, "View the full article" opens the same sized image that can't be read easily without a magnifying glass or photographer's loupe. Reading or saving the file is sort of useless if it's not enlarged, so is there a way to share a bigger file with us, and thereby with posterity? I find that many posts are the same size when you click "view the full article". Is it a tumblr hosting size-limitation? With a little digging I found out that Homer Laughlin, Sr. retired to L.A. and that in all likelihood Homer, Jr. built the car, as the scion of the family long after his father sold the china company. So I think I found my answer, but I'd still like to be able to easily read the article (all the articles) that you so generously post.Difficult to do when the text is lilliputian. Thanks, and keep up your good works, TG AACA 100691 Edited November 23, 2015 by TG57Roadmaster (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhocker Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Hi TG, Thanks for the interest in our Tumblr posts. Tumblr automatically adjusts the size of the images. If you see a new post that features an article or text that you can't read, feel free to drop us a line. We check the forums every few days, so the quickest way to get us would be by directly contacting the AACA Library. Our phone number is 717-534-2082, and we are open Mon. through Sat., 8 AM - 4 PM (excluding major holidays and some major holiday weekends). I've attached the original scan to this message, but it appears to have reduced the size again. If you email me at mhocker@aaca.org I will send a reply with the original image. Hope this helps! Thank you for reaching out, and have a good one. Sincerely,Matthew HockerAssistant Librarian Edited November 23, 2015 by mhocker (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Hi Matt, Thanks for your reply, I forgot you were open on Mondays. I appreciate the heads-up for future articles,and will definitely take you up on the offer when needed. I really enjoyed my visit there two weeks ago, and all your help; the Library is a great, often untapped resource.On my trip, I was introduced to a known marque but new-to-me model, the Armstrong-Siddeley Star Sapphire,and was pretty thrilled to find multiple brochures and press photos of it in your vast holdings. (Plus, I got to fill in some blanks for a friend's '63 Pontiac LeMans convertible). Very cool! Thanks, and have a good one, TG Edited November 23, 2015 by TG57Roadmaster (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
