This is a set of ten shop manuals for various Mercedes models, including the famous "Gull-Wing" 300 SL. Microfilm cassettes are much rarer than the single reel microfilm cartridges. There are a few brief mentions of the format on the web, but no pictures that I could find.

Cassettes include:
1.   W/S Manual August 1959
2.   W/S Manual 190 & 180–220 SE<3>3.   W/S Manual OM 636 /621–170–300

A "W/S" manual is a workshop manual, as opposed to an owner's manual.
