[StartQuote] Dick Your exchange with Victor Chun reminded me to follow up on a research area that might interest you. Several years ago I donated to PT Boats HQ an Elco drawing film file that had been in my father's possession. My recollection is that the file consisted of well over 100 film sleeves (35mm?), each containing several drawings. The majority were 103 series, but I think there may have been some earlier (77' ?) drawings as well. At that time, at least, HQ did not have a film reader. I know Pat Matthews offerred to arrange a service to read/print the files, but he was a new member at the time, and Alyce was reluctant to part with the originals to a stranger, and the cost had not been quantified. I suspect these files have never been reviewed. They may just dupliate other records already in possession of HQ, but there may also be some gems previously unknown to exist. Considering your relationship with PT Boats Inc., as well as your own personal interest in PT engineering drawings, it might be worth everyone's while for you to explore a review of these files. Hoping that's a project that you might undertake, Ed B[EndQuote]
