This is a request, posted on another listserv.  I asked  permission from
Erin ( [log in to unmask]) to post her request on this listserv because
of the unusual subject matter. It's about a Torica Astro Globe that one of
you may have.  Please respond directly to Erin - not the listserv.

Thanks

I have been asked to locate a user manual for a Torica Astro Globe
manufactured in the 1960's in Japan and sold in the US.  Apparently, there
was also a US based company, Lafayette Radio Electronic Corp., which made a
similar astro globe so that manual would work too.

I am completely outside my wheelhouse with this.  I searched OCLC but only
found one listing for a manual (at Princeton) and they have an ILL fee.

I suspect that if any library held something like this it would be a
science or astronomy library.  Maybe this would only be in a local catalog
too not listed on OCLC.  Does PAM [not me, SLA's Physics, Astronomy & Math
Division] have a listserv or wiki where I could post this request for help?

If not, do you have any suggestions on where I might track a manual like
this down?  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Erin
