The following is by no means complete. It is, rather, a working-document in progress.
Some material is taken from an unpublished compilation by Richard Fuchs, of the Cincinnati Dry Dredgers. He deserves all due credit for the information cited as coming from his compilation.

ABOUT THIS WEB-PAGE -- Caveat lector !
This web-page was constructed using MS-FrontPage and its version of html. The results have been previewed by way of MS InternetExplorer. Unfortunately, things that look fine when viewed with Internet Explorer sometimes look rather peculiar when viewed with Netscape. For example, there can be unexpected and unpredictable changes in the size, shape, style of type, or some combination of these. Moreover, sometimes different versions of Internet Explorer do not present the same web‑page in the same way; for example, hyphens in one version can mutate into empty rectangles in another. Alas!
