The PDF is nicely done and I hope you have time to do more of them. As time passes and even fewer actual examples of the gear are around detailed and accurate information are the second best thing. Thanks for what you do DRW and I appreciate you posting it here.

Thanks, Bryan, for the positive response. I mentioned having created similar PDFs for Featherwate and Shark Brand and here are the respective URLs:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw7z_4 ... lQNWc/view
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw7z_4 ... RST28/view
The three PDFs are in a folder named "Reconstructions" with the web address https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... GZnVGNvZDg, so you can keep a lookout for further contributions.

Feel free as well to explore what else I have in the way of files on my Underwater Swimming Google Drive, which has the URL https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... kFiN1E2aWs. There are further folders with diving catalogues, guides and magazines, mostly scans of items I have a print copy of.

This is on the back of "The How-To Book of Skin and Scuba Diving," by John E. Crayford, published 1964. It was my first book about diving.

Love the superlatives! By the way, there's a whole page of vintage ads for Richards Aqualung Center at http://www.skindivinghistory.com/mfg_re ... index.html, e.g.

Is Richards still in business? I recall passing the store last time I was in New York, which was during the 1990s.

Under the "Coming Soon" section its says: "Triple Stage Regulators."

Not familiar with such a creation? Were any ever made?

I believe the Triple Stage was/is the Snark III... They often refer to the overpressure valve as the 3rd stage,

This is what I remember reading but I've never seen any Nemrod info explaining it.

Cool graphiics on the :"Blue Floating<"fin box of 1958. Man, 60 years ago!, and check out the grease pencil price! A good inflation indicator!
