Thanks Simon, very helpful link.
Most of my previous reference URLs condensed into a single zip.
Very handy! I'll try and upload it to my site and see if it can handle 9mB!


Dad showed me a few Engineer's Notebook pages similar to some

I'm currently digesting a lot of that theory before I dive into
