Hello,
I was browsing through some of the parts in my parts directory today and
noticed a few parts that needed some "fixing". One of which was the "Town
Radio". I made several fixes to it, and I want to give the original part
author proper credit. It was added to the update in April of 1998. (1998-04)

That's an original James Jessiman part.  It was updated in LCAD Update
98-06; it was renumbered from 149 to 3962.  Which is probably part of the
reason it didn't get a file-header -- the file itself didn't change, just
the number.

*Any* part in the part library without a header is a James Jessiman part.

ok,
Thank you Steve.  I have made a few other tweaks, others to come, if they
are welcome, and I'm not hurting anyones pride.


4862 - James J.  - Glass for Window  1 x  2 x  2 Plane
   Quad with duplicate points.

4858 - James J.? - wedge 4 x 4
   2 quads that had out of place points.

103a - ?         - ~Winch  2 x  4 x  2 Base
   Tubes on bottom were upsidedown.

3962 - James J.  - Town Radio
   Fixed handle?, antanne and ribs on back

4175 - ?         - Plate  1 x  2 with Ladder
   2 missing quads.


I also made a few changes to some other parts, I emailed the revised parts
to their original authors for review.

Should I post the parts here, or email them to partsref first?

Also, what form of revision note should be entered in the file?

Here is a few lines from one file;
0 corrected following line - Paul Easter Nov. 2000
0 4 16 16 40 -6 -12 32 -6 12 32 -6 16 40 -6
4 16 -16 40 -6 -12 32 -6 12 32 -6 16 40 -6

Should I make an entry at each changed line, or just at the beginning of the
data section?

LMK

Thank you,

Paul Easter

(...) I hope that everyone who contributes to the parts library realizes that their parts are likely to be updated, corrected, moved, modified and/or plagiarized at some point. (...) If the fixes were minor and mechanical, just mail 'em to partsref. (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
