    Reisch is a good quick reference. But just because something doesn't agree with Reisch doesn't mean that it is wrong. What it means is that further research needs to be done. Even if there were no errors in reisch, he couldn't possibly have every detail. There is so much undocumented transfer of parts between manufacturers that I don't see how we can ever know everything. There are a lot of transfers that are known, but there is no documentation for them, so how do you "PROVE" that transfer? You can argue all you want and exclaim this book or that book is full of errors, but we still will need the publication of the best information available as a guideline. And that is what Reisch's book is, a guide.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
