Re: [TCML] "Transformers at Pittsfield" book by Thomas Blalock isnow On-line!

["David Rieben" <drieben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Much thanks and appreciation to Bert Hickman and Jay Howson
for making this treasure trove of info freely available and easily ac-
cessable to the TCML. I finally downloaded it on my home PC
yesterday and have been absolutely drooling over the wealth of
pictures! :^) Makes my collection of pole pigs and x-ray transfor-
mers look kind of "puny" :^0 Now to actually start reading the
text and not just look at the pictures ;^)
