Ah, the joys (and pitfalls) of casting and plate numbers.  Now that's one
supersession list I've never been able put my hands on.  The only one of
this kind I have is one I've manually built over the past decade or so and
it is so incomplete, lotta "holes".

Thanks for the post back.  Neat page, be nice if I could read it :-)
