Richmond, Virginia.  The James River here is either whitewater,
clear, fast and shallow or deep and dark.

I'm not sure other than what I read long ago: the
coyright is good for 75 years after the death of
the writer.  However, there is a "reasonable
personal use" that will permit you to make 
copies to show to your friends as long as you
don't either make money or prevent over-the-counter
sales.

If you scan it in, send it to me.  No money changes
hands, and we might find the writer and talk him 
into selling the plans again.

See what you can find.  Want the MI article about
a electric wet sub?
