Thank you for the kind words, John.

Hi folks,

An error appeared in the most recent installment (PART II) of my multi-part work on the Edison Chippendales, please observe the following corrections to my work found on pages 18 and 19 shown below in red):

TYPE 2; Mounted to both sides of the drawer tops were numbered celluloid indices marked 1 through 37 on the left side, and 2 through 38 on the right, graduated by twos alternately from left to right.

TYPE 3; Mounted at the base of both shelves were identical celluloid indices numbered 1 through 36, sequentially.

TYPE 4; This arrangement was identical to the TYPE 3 system except the numbered celluloid indices were changed to reflect numbering of 1 through 72, sequentially.

I apologize for any confusion I may have caused through my error,
Fran

Hi Fran,
Yes I did note the errors but type 4 bottom shelf is 37 through 72 not 1 through 72. I add this since I have SM-173825 about 13,000 from the highest serial number.

Yes, Allen, the top index remained unchanged, only the bottom had changed. BUT, the numbering was sequential.

My copy of the March 2016 journal just arrived!

Hope mine comes today. Would make for good rainy day reading

My March, 2016 issue of the journal has still not arrived... even though, if I understand correctly, they were originally mailed out roughly 100 miles from my home!?! Maybe some postal employee is reading my copy, and contemplating joining the APS!

Waiting patiently in WI,
Bob

My fingers are drumming nervously on my desk as they wait for mine, here in Hemtucky...

MY copy arrived yesterday in Timonium MD

Gosh, I felt sure that I must be the last one to receive it! At least one collector in NJ received his copy on March 2nd...
