Technical Publications in Civil Large Engines
How we used to do it……………
• Authors create technical instructions
• Copy typists capture data to create text
• Illustrators produced graphics from engineering drawings
• Text and graphics were use to create printing plates
• Pages printed
• Distributed
• Revisions - incorporation

PS2000
• In the early 1990s Rolls-Royce plc needed to move to an electronic
publication system
• Work began to identify a supplier and product
• No single system was available “out the box”
• Corena chosen as software supplier to help create a solution
• Corena/R-R developed a system called PS2000
• Collection of COTs products, with bespoke coding
• System has grown and developed over time

PS2000 – Text and Graphics
• PS2000 - advantages of electronic graphics and text
• Use of CADD reduced the creation time - improved data quality
due to removing human interpretation
• Text in ATA iSpec 2200 gave huge savings in time due to use of
“boiler plate” text and ability to copy/paste
• Tagging and hyperlinking - reference to other documents,
significantly reducing the effort for the end user
