Ok, I'll crank up the flatbed and scan in the tests. I'll post the url when 
they are online.

It will be a few days. I still have to work for a living....

Stephen,

Modern Photography who owned the copyright on those pages went out ot business 
years ago. The staff of Modern went to Popular Photography, which has no 
relationship to what you see in that magazine today. So I doubt that anyone 
would stop you from putting them on your website.

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.From:rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

the time 1957 to 1965.
