[GreenKeys] KS Standards, collected anywhere?

[Don Robert House]

Most Bell companies had WECo card files on all KS items as well as  
other standard WECo products. They also had microfiche.
Most of the former Bell companies trashed these files.  I tried to  
obtain one at Illinois Bell for our museum but
before I could make arrangements the cards were shredded and the file  
machine scrapped.

There may still be one left at the SBC museum in Austin, TX.
It is so sad that so much information was destroyed.  I have several  
new WECo relays and ballast lamps, plus other items that documentation  
is now all gone.

Please let everyone on the list know if you find any references.

Greenkeyers,

A friend has a few mica caps with a partial KS standard number on them  
and wonders if there is any repository or collection of the standards.

Any ideas?
