barrel weight

Austin, I'll try to save you some work searching for it. If you go to the "Parker Pages" web page and then into the "Past Parker Pages Index" and do a "ctrl f" while in that page you can search for it using your computer. Your browser should make a search text box (mine is in the lower left of the browser) and use it to search for your name. You should find every article title you published in Parker Pages and the volume & Issue it's in. I did that but without opening each one and reading I don't know which article you are referencing. And you have published a few articles!

If you find it and tell me the title, year or volume and issue, I'll try to post it here.

Soooo............... "struck" has nothing to do with "striking" as with hammers Rather, it is "filing". Do I have that right?? "unfiled" barrel weight doesn't flow off the tongue quite so easily.

Obviously, I am at loose ends today, as roosters open tomorrow. So Dean got me wondering why the word struck is used when it is a filing process. Had a look at synonyms.com and in the 11th sense of the word struck I found the answer.

Struck: Sense 11: shape, form

It all makes sense now. Thanks.

Robin; I found the original figures but not the manuscript; it is in an article title "Deming Audits Parker Production, and the date on the figures is 1997. If necessary I'll ligt a fire in the old Windows 95 computer and find it.

Best, Austin
