John,
I don't disagree entirely, but the problem with the Internet and search
engines is that the Internet contains more disinformation than information and
search engines aren't capable of telling the difference.
As a bad example, do a search for BC-324. Unless it was recently corrected,
you will turn up the information on what looks like an official Signal Corps
site that it is the 12 volt version of the BC-348. Which actually very
compactly contains three bits of disinformation, not just one. :-(
