Larry,

Do you mean 'in print' like in books?  I haven't found too many books
devoted solely to Simon Lake. Though most historical sub books have
references and pics.  The web has a lot of refs on Simon Lake...just
do a google on him.

Here is a site with references to Lake.

I know the Argonaut Jr. and Argonaut had wheels, but I did not think
the Protectors or any of the S class subs were designed with wheels?
