Re: Don Lattimer, Bonnet hinge.

2003-01-27 by Don Lattimer <donlattimer@pacific.net>

Paul,

I uploaded the drawings (2) to the "Bonnet Hinge" photo album and 
also moved the "spigot" pic into the album.

Jack, I apologize for not getting your approval before uploading the 
pics.  I just realized it and will remove them if you desire.  Sorry!

Great idea!
