Yes, thanks.

a note, C.N.C. (CNC) in the book, was indeed a hidden maker of many a pro's rides. So was Gemini, also near Paris. Possibly due to the translation and for other reasons, C.N.C. did use silver elsewhere, had access to the lighter Reynolds tiube sets, 3/10 and 5/10 .3mm and .5mm in the unbutted regions. They also used Vitus tubes as well. Makes one wonder, if a language barrier was at work? Or trade secrets or poor editing.

Often the "official" history of many a maker is not repeatable under oath. Be fun to read the Masi insert which I think came in a later edition.

ho ho ho.
