[AT] Grain Binders and nudity....

[Richard Strobel]

I think it's a great idea Cecil.  Recently a SAEG across the pond was 
putting old engine manuals on his website for everyone to use.  Then he 
found someone copying them and selling them on ebay.
    IMO, museums, historical societies, need all the help they can get with 
NG interest falling off.  This is meant to stop the selfish copying and 
reselling of the article.  And of course they realize that anyone with 
photoshop can get the watermark off, but it would be time consuming.  At 
least they're nice enough not to put it diagonally across the pix. like 
some.

  Keep up the good work WHS!!!  I get a lot of thank you's when I mention 
your fantastic site.  And thanks to the volunteers also.

ttfn
