D & R's experience in developing manuals for the transit industry ranges from standard printed and bound manuals to fully Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM), designed for use on a computer or over the Internet. We develop manuals using leading word processing / desktop publishing software (i.e., MS Word, MS PowerPoint, Quark, Visual Studio, Arbortext, and FrameMaker) that integrate supporting artwork for a complete, cohesive suite of bound manuals. For IETM / IEM, D & R develops and delivers manuals in HTML, or to SGML/XML specifications and customer DTD and FOSI requirements. We also develop IETMs for prime car builders.


Our staff is capable of developing technical manuals for an entire transit vehicle. We also develop manuals for individual components and sub-systems, provided by an equipment supplier.
