Allan is correct in that there was a size limitation issue in copying the stock books.The copying machine was not large enough to copy the entire stock book page.
Therefore, a decision had to be made as to what was most important for inclusion in The Parker Story and for collectors. As i recall the frame size was at
the end of the page or near it. Remington loaned the use of their copying machine and when the copying was completed the machine was no longer functional and had served its useful life. Roy Gunter traveled to Remington from Averill Park, NY every day for a month to copy the stock books working long hours. A labor of love for all the authors and all who helped make it a reality!
In all it was an eight year project from inception to competition of both volumes.
