Maintenance manuals for liquid chromatography and gas spectrometry
instruments. The instruments had mechanical pick-and-place robots and
reagent sample prep and analysis chambers crammed into spaces about the
same size as a large laser printer. I had the prototypes, preliminary

tool set on my desk and used the drawings and plans to write
instructions to disassemble, diagnose, rebuild and check out the systems
in the field.
