Viewed and printed, true enough, but I want download... So I can post a copy

A very nice explanation of why they are TIFF on the FAQ.  I'm perfectly
happy with TIFF. It's a reasonably popular published format, available to
anyone (I think), so, therefore, suitable for a publicly funded resource.
While some might like GIF, there are those persistent LZW compression patent
licensing issues, although, Congress could make a determination that in the
public good, private rights would be superseded (hard to imagine PTO going
for this though, given that their whole reason for being is documenting
private IP rights).

But you don't have the all important 6,279,254 (Fan Advertising device) and
 5,971,765 (Method and system for generating artificial tornadoes and
related vortex phenomena)

Not Tesla related, I grant you....
