Regardless of how it actually came to fruition, I feel it is important to remind the community of who it was that spearheaded the project all those years ago!

Yes, he worked from factory blueprints, schematics, etc.. I still have those photographs somewhere but little time to search for them. Perhaps I can locate them in the next months and get Mr. Wheeler to put them up here for all to see.
Then again, I'll probably be banned for years when Chuck reads my reply to his post...
