Another example is in some versions of the DEC RK05 maintenance manual,
in the section on cleaning the disk platter. This is from memory, so I'm
mis-quoting, but here goes...
'Dry dust can be removed by blowing by mouth. Do not spit on the disk'
And the Tektronix cartoons haev been mentioned many times before. My
favourite is on the CRT circut for the 564 storage 'socpe. There's a
cleaning lady kneeling on the screen-end of the CRT symbol, mopping up
water, presumably put there by the flood guns :-)
