+** Contents
+*** Directories
+- ~DEL~: Deliverables. A directory that may include plain SVG files
+  and exported PDF files. *This is probably what you want*.
+- ~DWG~: Drawing source files. A directory that may include [[https://inkscape.org/][Inkscape]]
+  SVG files.
+- ~EXEC~: Executable files. A directory that may include scripts
+  useful for manipulating files.
+- ~IMG~: Reference image files. A directory that may include various
+  image files used in creation of project source files.
+*** Files
+- ~README.org~: This file.
+- ~REVISIONS.org~: A file containing a detailed version history of
+  each drawing.
+- ~TODO.org~: A file containing a list of pending tasks for the
+  project.
+
+** Usage
+*** Generate a combined PDF
+A script is available at ~./EXEC/combine_pdfs.sh~ to merge multiple
+single-page PDFs into a single PDF file; the script uses the [[https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/][pdftk
+utility]] available on typical [[https://www.debian.org/][Debian]]-based [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnu-Linux][GNU/Linux]] machines
+of 2023. On a typical Debian 12 system, the following command may be
+used to merge ~input1.pdf~ and ~input2.pdf~ files into ~output.pdf~.
+
+: $ /bin/bash combine_pdfs.sh output.pdf input1.pdf input2.pdf
