Parker Pages arrived .....

[Bindlestiff]

Stopped at the mail box as I drove into the house today and found the latest issue of Parker Pages, nice surprise.

When I shut down the motor I opened it and ended up reading the "WHATCHAMACALLIT PARKER" by Lee Moege before I got out of the truck. Great read and it looks like there is more good stuff to read later tonight.

Got mine in Maryland today. Wonderful, especially the reprint of the barrel making article. If we can reprint something that any of us could have found on google.com, like I found the barrel making article, why can't we reprint some of the great research material that we have in the PGCA collection? We all know it's there, but it is part of the "Black Hole of Curatorship". I know it's there because I've seen it and our present Research Committee has made it clear that the BOD must free it up for it to be published in The Parker Pages.

I'm not quite sure you interpreted me correctly Bill. My instructions are that if someone is writing an article for publication, I'm allowed to scan the appropriate Order or Stock books for the article, whether it's for the Parker Pages or some other magazine. What I'm not allowed to do is include a scan of the Stock or Order Book pages and include it in with a research letter.

I'm sure if I'm incorrect in this statement, the BOD will correct me.

You found them Bill? Then why for heavens sake didn't you clear the copy right and submit the article to Parker pages like I did? And Chuck you are correct.

[Mills]

Bill, we need an article about your CH Bernard two barrel set.

[Bill Murphy]

Dave, I outed the American Machinist barrel article on the forum on February 20, in a thread titled "Variations in Ribs", told all readers how to find the article. Could that have been how you found it?

[Bill Murphy]

Chuck, I am not asking that PGCA publish the order or stock books in the Parker pages. I was referring to other Parker research material, like the interesting correspondence that has been locked in the "Black Hole" since the nineties.

Ok, so the PGCA has correspondence hidden in a "Black Hole" which you seem to know about? I don't know what you are talking about and if its in a "Black Hole", I suspect I will not be learning about it anytime soon.

Would you enlighten us as to what exactly you are referring?
