I found this magazine today and scanned the article, not sure if it's been posted before.

I have the original scans in pdf format which are clearer but can't upload them.

Thanks for posting. First time I've seen this article. Unfortunately I can't read it from my work computer, but I'll give it a try from my computer at home.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

There are lots of on-line sources of tools to deal with your problem.  You can compress it, or break it up into separate .pdfs.

https://topdf.com/ and https://smallpdf.com/ are two sites I've used.  OK, it takes a couple of minutes to understand what you're looking at, but it's easy.  Nothing to download, other than the result.

Fun read. The author sure has an axe to grind about the Europa not being an Elan.  8). The article does renew my determination to get my TCS (Also not an Elan) back together and on the road by next summer. So that's great.

Thanks for posting and converting the article.
