Wanting info on '70 short black handle adjustible

[FieroGT42]

I like reading everything I can about vintage items, like instruction manuals and such, even if I don't really need them. Call me a geek, but I think it's neat-o.

Now I have a '70 Gillette adjustible, short black handle, courtesy of a generous member *cough radaddict cough* ... and I'm looking for scans of original documentation if anyone has them.

Also, does anybody know what the teeny hole in the bottom of the handle is for? Internal oiling? A catch for disassembly? Or just so they could make fools out of people decades later who ask what the hole is for?

(BTW, it's like #12 here: here)

Achim (Mr-razor) generously put various instructions on his homepage. I think he did a great job and I highly appreciate for it. Take a look here:

but there is no instruction from a short Superadjustable.

I believe the hole is for drainage. The body of the razor is hollow and any water getting in the top center hole under the blade bar needs to go somewhere.

I was hoping for a scan of one of those larger unfolding insert things, but oh well. No biggie.

Yep, drainage hole. I decided that after so much water came out of it yesterday, but I had to hold a cloth to the hole to let it wick out, otherwise it all stayed in there.
