Many thanks. This is really useful. I was also wondering if anyone has the manual for the Mark IXB.

Less easy to find is that for the Mark IX, its predecessor, which has a six-shot averager. Its operation is not obvious, so I am attaching a reformatted manual for this instrument, extracted from my restoration manual on the Mark IX series.
