Old timetable
 

I have an old GN timetable dated 1899. My idea was to scan the 200 pages but the thing is too fragile so I have decided to pick out some gems that might be of interest. This example might interest some. An advert published fifteen years before the Titanic!

You may be better using a digital camera and a piece of non reflective glass to photograph pages of interest, rather than try to put a fragile book in a scanner.
Just make sure the edges of the glass have been ground to a soft edge first

Yes thanks. My son also suggested using a camera so I might have a go. I find it all interesting but the pages turn to confetti when touched!!!!

Going to have to show this to my dad. Really interesting!

OLD Timetables were printed on really thin almost Tissue paper so I am not surprised that the paper is frail I mean it is 112 years old at least

Good luck copying what you can
