Hello Colin,
I can do that but it's pretty rough, with lots
of oil, coolant and tear stains on it. It was
intended for my own use, in my own shorthand,
but I can quickly re-draw the thing and add some
useful notes.
Then after I distribute it we can all pitch in
to refine it.
Can we send jpg images through the Morgan Mail
net yet? We couldn't before, but someone recently
sent a "Santa" picture if I'm not mistaken. If
we can't, I'll send you a copy directly.

Hey Joe,
Any chance you could scan the "chinese puzzle" pencil drawing and share
it?
