  I don't know the origin of those manuals specifically, but the
Bitsavers project is run by a man named Al Kossow, who does most of the
scanning and post-processing himself.  He uses high-speed sheet-fed
scanners and a lot of custom post-processing stuff, due to the volume.
He does accept scans if they were done to his specifications, but as I
understand it, those constitute a relatively small percentage of those
present in the Bitsavers archive.  I believe it's reasonable to assume
that those PDFs came to us via Al's process.
