I've stared at well written service manuals (these actually exist, but
tend to be old) that just made no sense until the next day, or after a
break. Not a fan of touching service manuals with diry hands either.

Where I worked we had a copy machine in the shop and I would usually copy
the important pages of the service manual to take with me. Usually had them
already copied in a book I kept so I could fine the important pages quick
and took a copy of that with me.

The electrical blue prints for much of the wiring and some equipment was on
a computer and we had a large plotter so could run off what we needed to
take with us.
Sometimes I would make notes on the copies and leave them in the electrical
cabinet, or just write inside the cabinet with a marking pen.
