Wow. THanks for the info. I can see this is going to be not only lengthy, but edumacational as well. I guess to really catch up, I am going to have to buy books and start reading. Anybody have any of these books online in the downloadable format? I am just getting used to the iPad thing and apparently, unbeknownst to me, a person can download a whole library into one of these things and carry a enough information to study for a PHD... So, these blue books? Why would it be beneficial to get rid of these for the war effort? Perhaps for the steel?
On another unrelated note: Today as I was driving past a little tiny state park that I drive past daily, there has been an antique Shell Station resurected there recently. I have been seeing the old Shell signs and today I thought I would stop by and check it out, and sure enough, there it was, a visible pump. I am now going to have to review the hints for posting pictures so you all can enjoy them and tell me if this is a repro or original. I have no idea how to tell, but it was fun seeing this thing and I can't imagine our state spends the dough to buy a repro just to have an old historical gas station where there used to be one. Stay tuned for the pix...
