I have downloaded all the referenced ,pdf files and viewed almost all of them.
Unfortunately the larger the image the less legible it becomes.
So the impressive general assemblies are not readable. Same for the frame sides, boiler, steam cylinders, and quite a few more.
Seems like I will need to find out where the original drawings are being held and investigate having prints made from them.
I will probably need to wait until the (partial) government shut down ends and the Park Service is open again.
Any ideas out there?

My copies have file names "sheets_1-281.pdf" and "Sheets_282-786.pdf." File sizes are 450,681KB and 509,930KB. The image says the originals of the GA drawings are drawn at 1-1/2" per foot and when displayed at that on my monitor they are clear. If you have a something else let me know and I can share them.

For those just tuning in, the files containing the drawings for Jupiter and 119 can be downloaded from here:

The drawings are in the public domain as they were funded by U.S. public funds.
