These documents describe old incarnations of the WFC (fitted with the Loral CCDs, and older data acquisition systems). These may be of use if reducing old data:

• The Wide Field Camera User Notes (from May 1998, fitted with four thinned EEV CCDs).
• The old WFC manual - this refers to the WFC with the now replaced Loral CCDs.
• Supplementary notes on WFC (draft Dec 1997).
• Revised data on the Loral CCDs from Nov 1997 (obselete - camera upgarded with EEV CCDs).
• Updated user notes on operating the WFC (from October 1997 commissioning run, camera now has EEV CCDs).
• Old user notes on operating the WFC (from May 1997 commissioning run).
