[Read below the initial personal venting for the 'meat'] A digression from the main subject. The thread quoted below adds more validity to the need for a fast archival retrieval system, aka CD-ROM! Even if you know a given article exists, and providing you have all the magazines, how many hours/days could you devote to finding the desired information? Of the indexes we've had in the past, keyword importance is left to the [human] compiler's discretion, and is therefore of questionable value for more intensive reading/research. A (fast?) global search, _regardless_ of word choice is what is needed. Hypertext with B-tree indexing are my favorites, but it looks like we're tooling for an HTML style "reader" at the moment, with some sort of index. Now that I've vented, back to the original thread. Perhaps one/more of the following references will help: 1) Rebuilding, restringing, dressing the capo bar | Gravagne | PTJ 5/1/93 p24 2) Repair, capo bar heat treating | Forum/Matt Grossman | PTJ 8/1/84 p14 3) Rebuilding, pressure bar, adjustable capo bar | Forum/Krefting | 7/1/81 p7 4) Repair, capo bar profile | Forum/E. McMenow | PTJ 12/1/84 p14 Sorry for the interruption! You'll now be return to your regularly scheduled... whatever.

Maybe it was in the one or two issues I've misplaced. Jim Harvey, RPT Greenwood, SC harvey@greenwood.net ________________________ Docs? We don't need no steenkin' docs! -- Harvey (circa 1984)
