Ed, do you have any issues with me scanning my photocopies and putting them up 
on my dusty vanity website for the use and amusement of our fellow list members?

Ah Ed-the golden age of photography. Before the advent of digital and the 
democratization of the poor image. 50s and 60s were a pretty good era for 
pugilism too.

Regards,

Marvin.

what is the time frame of the test you are referring to? I did the tests during 
the time 1957 to 1965.
