If I remember from a long time ago, the Gnome manual was a very simple affair, just a few pages about fitting a plug, how raose and lower the head, use the Rangefinder for focus, nothing more about it just a simple, well made strong enlarger, I also had one made by MPP, the same people who made the Microcord, given to me a few years ago, again very simple, never had a manual for it, but I do remember that you could make giant prints on the baseboard with the head at the top of the colum then the head raised up on a very high sort of bracket, that raised the head almost twice as high as the colum, which was also very high, there were a few British made enlargers from the fifties/sixties that were very simple, just did the job well without any fuss, much like the Ensign and Microcords from the same period, simple but great tools,
