You're welcome.

No, None of the lists "out there" are 100% correct (not even 
in the Government documentation).

No big deal - just takes time.

Yes, - the  "error" was that the illustration from one 
source was used - with an "index page" from a different 
source.  According to Perry - it was an "accident" that 
happened as a result of trying to find the "clearest" 
illustration - (from the several sources available) and not 
realizing that different books used a different "index" 
scheme.  I do a bit of technical writing and photography now 
and then - so it's not a big deal - esp. when I can con - er 
- beg Sherry into helping.  (I did an article for the Summer 
2002 Issue of the US Navy's "UnderSea Warfare" - and one of 
my photos was used in the December issue of Carstens 
Publications "Railroad Model Craftsman" magazine as a 
"reference", for instance).

best regards...
