[ANSTHRLD] I need a tool for the Calendar Patent Rolls!

[Adalia]

That's exactly the process that I'm looking at doing.  It' won't take long.
 I've also emailed the professor and asked him if he would be willing to
provide the documents as a zipped file or some other archive before I begin
the tedious task of downloading the individual files.  Once they're
downloaded though, it only takes a few seconds to create the amalgamated
PDF...
