I got a service manual for an old camera and it is a fine, complete piece of technical writing, literally all the information one would need to fix any problem with the camera.
It dawned on me that in the 70s things needed to be that comprehensive because ... no internet!

Now they have the whole series in an hour. But for the consumer market this went the opposite way.
