This is a crop of a scan of about a 1 by 1.5 inch section of a schematic
for an Atwater Kent 32 Volt Farm radio. that is about 5 by 8.5 inches in
size in the original paper from 1936 that it is on..  I scanned at 1200
DPI and it is quite readable but the GIF file of the entire diagram is
about 44mb.!
44 MB seems reasonable. I would choose to make the files available with good quality first of all, and later optimize the project by providing smaller files if this was an issue for a lot of people.
