Hello Dennis,

Thank you very much for sharing this interesting link. It enables to fill up several blanks in my piles of paper copies. Wherever possible, I will use these digital files instead of all those volumous paper mass.

Best regards, Marcel

The majority of this material, if not all, was once held by D-HH, and transferred to LAC recently.
