Hello James Yes the book source is the same as mine. I have the presentation version, published about 20 years ago. I must admit that I missed the sections 112 and 113, which tell me the full story, thank you for that. However I d/l the 40MB version which make searching much easier. You may have the book, but for others who may be interested, the Black Book of Taymouth can be downloaded in pdf format (40MB) from the following site. (It is NOT a scan of my book.) http://www.electricscotland.com/books/pdf/taymouth.htm Many thanks for your help. Ranald On 13 February 2011 21:37, E.
