Chas,

The following comes from a file I downloaded from the Blenheim 2004 Yahoo group, which I believe in turn came from an article in MWAN by Charles Sharp(e). BTW, Chas, if you are still looking for a catalog for the Imperialist Enterprises WSS range (I saw your post on TMP), let me know as I have it as a PDF

Regards,

Mike
