Chuck - I'll chip in and 'mind' them for you while you're O/S....
I've got a few from the 70's and still read them every once in a while.
Peter Fanelli - yep, but after an incident with a stuck carb float needle, a dicky suction valve and a 'lot' of fuel dripping out through the carb overflow overnight, I just turn the sodding thing off altogether.

What copyright is on them?
Can they be scanned into pdf and made available on website somewhere?
Even though they are old, the same mistakes are being made today as were made 30 years ago.

They would probably be Crown Copyright (ie the government owns them).
BTW the NZ Flight Safety mag was also very good, but it too went the way of the dodo when "user pays" became the mantra. The new version is laughably inadequate - it ranges from stuff that is questionable, to stuff that is downright wrong.

The fuel selector for the 152 is either ON or OFF, there is no differentiation between tanks.
Well there ya go, that's what I get for making a suggestion about an aircraft I've never actually flown
