The wrong way to archive documents....HD burns more than the road...
According to a Robb Report magazine article (MotorCycling, March/April 2006), Harley-Davidson in 1978—then owned by AMF— decided to reduce its document storage issues by burning some 40,000 parchments dating back to the company's origins, circa 1908.

The company barbequed "hundreds of pounds of original engineering and design drawings," many of them one-of-a-kind renderings.

Everything, of course, was first backed up onto microfiche.

Unfortunately, the microfiche has since apparently gone missing.

We would never suggest the destruction of archived documents, especially those of historical significance. If Harley-Davidson had PowerFlow in 1978, though, they would still have digital copies of all those documents, even if a natural disaster (such as unintentional fire...) had destroyed the originals.

Unlike microfiche, PowerFlow technology lets you maintain and archive as many original copies of the important documents you need, with just a mouse-click. And store them on as many CDs or DVDs or hard disks you want.
