Thanks for the kind offer (and a bit of AMA history) Ron.  If you could
loan me the magazine for a week or two, I would be glad to scan
everything and make the article and plans available electronically for
folks who are interested.  If anyone is concerned about copyright
issues and can tell me how to get in contact with the copyright
holders, I would be glad to pursue that avenue as well.
