Looking for Dovetail jig manuals

I found the manual - (sort of) for the Stanley 116A dovetail jig
It is specifically referenced and used as a detailed example in several
older 1980 - 1995 router books. It gives all the information that is
needed.

It took me just a few minutes to make a small box as set up test.
I think my drawers will now all have dovetail joints - it is that easy.
