Apple II Paddle Adapple

Being in lust with Apple ][ lately, I'm grabbing lots of the stuff wherever I can recently. I especially like items sold originally in baggies. 

One incomplete item I found was the manual and jumpers for a device called the Paddle-Adapple from 1981, which allowed you to extend and modify your Apple II or Apple II+ gameport. Fortunately I was able to find one of these devices on eBay and complete the set. I guess I still need a 16 pin extension cable, but at least I have the instructions that tell you how to use the jumpers. I figured I'd post a few pictures for anyone that needs the info on how to use this 1981 peripheral.
