Jim,

I sent an email to you with some info from Ron's book. The book is a must-own, it gives a continuum to our understanding and fills in a lot of gaps in knowledge!

Also, I've found digital copies of OREG/ORER on haithitrust, pacificng.com, google books and had a friend or two send copies of some for years I couldn't find. What I've found out there digitally are 1890, 1891, 1893-1898, 1901, 1903-1905, 1907, 1912, 1917. There are more but my interest is 1890 to 1910. Haithitrust is especially good but generally only lets you save page by page, but in the case of the ORER this is typically 1-3 pages max per year so not onerous.

C&S annual reports are also out on Haithitrust and other places for more insights.
