This is an instruction manual entitled SOLDERING - A Self-Instruction Manual, 92 pages.

From the INTRODUCTION:

It is difficult to overemphasize the importance of good solder connections. Whether you are assembling a new piece of electronic equipment, repairing an existing piece of equipment, or just troubleshooting; soldering plays an important part. A sloppy solder connection can have drastic results on the operation of your equipment. Complete failure or improper operation can result if only one connection is defective. Just consider some of the serious problems that an improper solder connection can create. The quality color TV kit that you have paid hundreds of dollars for can be completely inoperative with just a single bad solder joint. A major space shot can be a complete failure because of a single poorly made solder connection. It might cost human lives, or the loss of a fantastic amount of time, money, and effort. Neither you nor anyone can afford such losses. If you have never soldered before, take the time now to learn this skill well. If you have soldered before, review the process anyway just to make sure you know the fundamentals. It is wasteful to make poor solder connections when you can make good ones in the same amount of time with no more effort. By perfecting your soldering skill, you can be sure of success in assembling electronic equipment that works. Good soldering will eliminate most of your assembly problems, and also the need for troubleshooting and repair. The lost time, expense, and frustration that you avoid will make it all worthwhile.
