WOW! And here I was thinking that my old, black, cast iron AO microtome was from the stone age! ;o) Gordon, thank you for sharing the photos and user guide - it was quite enlightening!

Gordon, Thank you for posting the instructions and photos! They brought back memories of my student days back in the fifties. I can recall that one of my colleagues almost lost fingers when the piano wire broke as he was changing a specimen stub. Many hours of microtomy practice and even more hours spent hand sharpening the Heiffor knives!! I still have two original Wilkinson sword knives in my possession, although they are a little worse of wear now. Once again, thanks for the memories.
