I must be doing something wrong.  I tried to search for Meteorite,
Walter, Walther, submarine and midget (in varying combinations) and
I got no hits.  I did figure out that not filling in the Lettercode
would be frustrating, but I also found that having the number to
go with it led to some interesting, but irrelevant, data.
