I tried a post of this last week but received no confirmation that the "mail got through". I was commenting that some of the small humidity gauges have very wide limits on their accuracy. Some are + or - 7% for ranges below 40%. I recommended a gauge available from Edmunds Scientific Catalogue number b37,352. Accuracy over the range from 10 to 90% is + or - 2% and it will measure 0 to 10 (+/- 5%) and 90 to 100 (+/- 5%). The cost is reasonable $64.95 U.S. dollars. It uses a measuring probe so could be placed in a easy to view location while tuning. Responce time is 3 to 5 minutes so decisions about whether to "float" the pitch or do pitch correction can be made with little time waste. Thanks for all the hints and tips. I would vote for the journals being "online" or atleast "on disk". I had to find an article from November 1990 the other day. It took me nearly an hour of searching old journals. I have a full page scanner now and and thinking of scanning each journal as it arrives.
