Research letter on 36"Parker V Grade

[Kevin McCormack]

This is very interesting to me - when we copied the Order Books and other Parker bibliographical materials at Remington in Ilion, the pace of work in trying to get everything done was a real crunch. Folding pages over, turning and twisting the books to get a good copy of each page was demanding. Every once in a while, a notation would catch somebody's eye and we would linger a few seconds trying to interpret exactly what it said. Trying to decipher these entries done in the old "Coca Cola" script type of the day essentially amounts to forensic calligraphy interpretation. Great job, Chuck!

Thanks Chuck. I don't know how you read these darned records in the first place. If you were not telling me what they said I would be unable to read 2/3 of the writing.
