[ARC5] History, (Was: My R-25/ARC-5 and ARA CBY-46104)

[Leslie Smith]

Hello List-members,
I'm sorry to make a second posting on the same topic (history) but it
seems that one thing is more valuable than these sets.  This is the
history that is spread all around - and in the knowledge of specific
people such as our Mr. GW.  This knowledge is just as valuable as the
sets themselves, and deserves the same respect as an actual sets.
