Here are the other images that don't belong in a top level category. Most are old copies of images that have been superceded by newer or better versions. These older images are often used on the detail pages to provide comparisions between equipment and techniques.

Also, news articles and some other pages use specific image versions that were available at the time the pages were first created. These images are kept here to ensure that the the links and images in the older articles still refer to valid content.
