Could the number in the top line of handwriting be a serial number? I make it out to be 4141991. That would make sense considering the printed text says the part list is for serial number 3558101 and up.
Thats a very strong possibility, good eye, I will let you know when I know

Sanskrit preserves the most ancient writings in any Indo-European language  -- 1700–1100 BC.  The Indo-European language group includes languages we know well -- Germanic, Latin, Celtic -- as well as languages we don't think of usually, like Persian and Hittite.   Proto Indo-european dates back about 10,000 years, before the modern IE languages diversified into those with which we are familiar.

Thanks for the info, I am going to proceed to my nearest 7/11 today for a full decipherment of text :)

There is a program called imageprinter than will take anything that you can print in an application and save it on the disk as a image file(s).  Essentially it looks like a printer to the application (like say, adobe reader) and just sends the output to a file instead of a real printer.

It is a little clumsy, but it's a fairly easy way to convert multi page PDF's into picture files...

Hello Rusty, can you explain to me how I would go about downloading this for free, I see where they offer two different deals, both of them buy now, I see where they are offering some partial download deal but these will leave behind a watermark on the image which obviously is not going to work for me so what am I missing?

 If it turns out this is not for free like you thought can you think of any other possibilities that I might get these few pages done. Thanks

Skip the 'pro' version, top right corner of ci's page is the free version (doesn't edit pdf's)

http://code-industry.net/imageprinter.php

(Sorry, the paid software wasn't there back when I downloaded the last time, pointing sorceforge at a pay ware package is kinda cheesy, sigh)

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I had to approach quite a few people but finally found the right woman, I was told by various middle eastern s that it was an old dialect, one guy and gal said Urdu, another said southern India, others said other places they all could read a little and their answers corresponded but none could read it all until but we ran across some young woman from Napoli (? )   You will have to excuse my spelling, I am only guessing on alot of this.

She said Napoli was Southern, between India and China if that makes sense, she was from there.

The top symbol is called a Shree ( ? ) it is meant as some sort of a sign of respect or god, sorta like Mister or Sir or Maddam but not quite, that as close as we could get with her.

Diectly below that it reads from Right to left, I found it interesting that our 9s are their 1s. Anyway left to right reads         9 4 / 4 /11/ and then I could not even begin to pronounce or spell the word but it reads Start from that day or that number, I do not know and she did not know if that meant serial number. So again Right to left as they read it Start from that day  94/4/11.

To the left and almost center is Carvini, ( ? )  they all agreed on that. It means car factory or car dealer.

Just opposite of that is Hazidi ( ? ) It means being in the present. I have no idea what was meant by that.

Lower left corner is a mans signature but she could not quite make out the name.

Very interesting in my opinion, I have never met an un-friendly middle eastern regardless of the bad rap they get cause of a few.

Thanks, I rarely have trouble finding people willing to help, I believe it is how you approach someone.

 Thanks again for converting the files as well. I have twenty two e-mails this AM with several hundred pages of data I have been sent all at once from a couple of different people I am working with that all need some editing done but I will at least open and review all the images you sent last night tonight and verify they are all there and in good order.

I sure looks like they all came thru though at this point. I appreciate your time
