I think that we in the UK and The USA, Canada Australia and NZ,  enjoy quite unlimited access to the internet and are free to surf almost anywhere and do not appreciate there are countries where this is not possible to the same degree.  If members with restricted access are unable to find or unable to get tech sheets,  the answer is to post the request on the site, That way members like myself and others who are free to roam will have a look on their behalf and post if found or able to supply,  After all the site ethos is to provide help to others, this is not restricted to answering technical problems, putting forward ideas etc but encompasses all aspects apertaining to the Horological world which we inhabit either as Professionals, Amateur or Hobbyists and collectors.

So those with restricted access just post and we will do our best.

Good to worry about other people Internet restrictions but let's have a look about the countries that, for example, restrict G suite of which drive is a component:

G Suite is available in most countries and regions.|
However, Google restricts access to some of its business services in certain countries or regions, such as China, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.

While I feel for people in the countries above not enjoying freedom, let aside full Internet, I do not think that at this time anyone is having a real problem about missing watch technical documents.

Google drive has to be down loaded to you PC as a programme and this then allows you to access the cloud.  

Actually it is not so. When using a desktop system, like a PC or Mac, Google suite (cloud) is accessible without installing anything, as it's completely web based and that is actually one of its strongest advantage. To an extent the same can be done from a mobile device, however to increase ease of access Google has developed specific apps for Android and Apple devices, and that is the recommended access method.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Right now I'm making do with a similar micrometer (the one below is $45 shipped but you can find better deals) and a $20 stand. You do have to be excruciatingly careful measuring jewels, since there's no table, but if you don't have the $500 to throw around, it's a nice option.

      As  I kid, I'd watch Godzilla stomping over buildings and cars and I'd think to myself: Tokyo is a really dangerous place to live... . Cool watch!!

      Part swapper to part maker

      Next one up an AS 554, looks like a bit more to this one. First job is to check thickness, most springs are somewhere between .3 and .4, this one measures .35, that matches in with the .4 spring steel i ordered. So for marking up a permanent marker comes in handy to colour up the steel to be marked later with a scriber once its dry. Bestfit provide the extra bit of info for the jumper spring that is missing.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Thanks again, Marc.  Super helpful. I was wondering what the hole was for, and now it makes perfect sense. With your help and the other members here, it looks like I'm good to go with my Seitz tool set. I had to order some replacement pushers, but with those, the set is complete and in good condition. Now, I need to figure out what tool to buy to measure jewels (amongst other watch-related parts). I had my eye on the JKA Feintaster micrometers, but people get crazy bidding on them for $400-600 USD. I was thinking of just a regular digital micrometer (Mitutoyo). Thoughts?  Mahalo. Frank

      Yep, that's exactly how it should fit. The reamer shank is tapered and the socket in the spindle is also tapered so that the one centers in the other and is gripped tightly. If there is any wobble when the reamer is seated as far it will go then there is a problem. The cross hole in the spindle is to allow you the push the reamer back out again. If the reamer seated much deeper then it would limit the access for pushing it back out again. Here is one of mine for comparison.
