Default VII-C tower comparisons

I've searched Uboat.net and Googled for a good, high resolution picture of the different variations of a Type VII-C Conning Towers.

Does anyone have a picture of these that's relatively good quality that they don't mind sharing with me or the community? Thanks!

Go to the library and get "The U-Boat" by E Rossler. It's a technical history of the U-Boat.

As you didn't state it explicitly, I assume that you are talking about technical drawings since they give the best overview.
I took photos of the conning tower since I have no scanner at home.
All images are from the second book of Rössler's "Geschichte des deutschen Ubootbaus", thanks Mr. nikimcbee for pointing towards the right book, saved me a lot of search time!

you're welcome, Chad!

If you need any towers more detailed (e.g. from the first page), or if the quality is too bad for your purposes, levae a message, I can take a new photo then.

Thanks again!
