Good for you

Getting something of you work published is not always something you want.

About 35 years ago while working on a classified program I re-designed some interface equipment that made a "lemon" work like a "Rolls Royce". I re-designed it, modified drawings, built additional interfaces etc.

For my own use I kept written notes of everything I did that I eventually incorporated into a report. I sent all my notes etc. to the project management when the project was complete.

About three years later a "maintenance manual" properly registered as an "ABR", arrived on my desk. I don't know how many copies were produced but probably no more than ten. When I opened it up I found it was a collection of my notes and drawings just as I had written them (how embarrassing) including some ideas that I never incorporated. If I had known they wanted a manual I could have written a proper one.
