Thanks for the "memory" compliment, but my early ejector research is all written down. I can quote it if I can find it. We were at Ilion for about five or six days for the PGCA Research Team and I sometimes would not go to lunch. I used the occasional lunch hour to pore over the books on days when they didn't lock us out of the Archives. During working hours, our noses were continually at the grindstone. Ask Allan about that. Another source of research material is my collection of "second copies" of pages I found interesting, like celebrity guns, the Show Gun lists, A-1 Specials, the Czar's gun, and any copies that were ruined and ended up in the trash. I think Jim Hall also raided the trash cans. Remember, there was no The Parker Story or Serialization Book and we were seeing these guns for the first time. I have only asked for special help from Research Chairmen when they expressed special interest in some special gun I was requesting a letter on, like the Gold Hearts Gun. Mark and I corresponed back and forth for days before we got that letter completed. For most of us, it was the highlight of our gun collecting careers.
