The presentation slides had to be appropriated (incomplete diagram/image, not 'legible' and not really understandable => Copy and paste); it would be easier to make your own presentation slides.

Content sometimes in English. A lot of the obvious is covered. slide with diagrams that are illegible because they are blurred. the values are in francs, so the material is old.
