That wasn't me, but Martin. Martin's article on Standard Data Plates and his Standard spreadsheet are posted on the APS web site (although I'm sure PBS would love to have them too).

I've re-read this several times, but cannot understand what you're asking regarding data. I have no RCA data, and have not published the Edison sales data.

As for the projected book, it's not mine. I have no idea when or if it will be published.

That's exactly how it looks on my Home A: I thought it was an anomaly...

Okay - I think I finally understand what you're asking. You mean Martin's data on Edison Standards. With Martin's permission, you can do what you like with it. Although the APS copyright protects him, it's Martin's work, so the APS would defer to him on this.

If I've misinterpreted your question, just straighten me out and I'll do my best to answer.

The Edison Standard Project (ie: the excel data sheet) is meant to be used by everyone as a primary resource. I only ask for attribution on anything you use. I'm sorry that you tried to print it, I gave up that idea when I tried to print it in 2008. It's way bigger now (and grows a little every day). Good luck!
