Re: Historic Scientific Instruments (Attn: Allan Adler)

I don't mean to be picky, but should I conclude that you
don't know how to answer my question about Table 3.1 in
Melissinos, even though I included a copy of the table in
my postings to sci.physics and sci.stat.math?

Correct. I haven't been there (to s.p or s.s.m).

I don't know who you are, either, other than by the
"prospectus" of gratis communications you have submitted
by posting to sci.chem.

So, you have never looked at my website?

Yes, I have. Interesting, but too much advanced math for me.

I'm not trying to get the museum to pay me, even though I
could certainly use it, being unemployed.

Actually, getting paid would be the exception. People rarely
want my skills and when they do they normally refuse to
pay for them. I used to help them and expect them to help
me, an idea they found outrageous:

Been there; been done by that. Unless you're already employed
(e.g., faculty) a lot of potential clients see a "consultant"
as someone to bleed for free. I got sick of it, too.

Good luck with Melissinos and getting paid for something
worthwhile.
