Its Appendix 1 is 38 pages long and has them listed alphabetically and a very brief sentence noting what they were. Interestingly, it doesn't list PLOOM. The appendix claims to be complete, as far as it was possible to ascertain, until 1960 when this system was dropped in favor of a numerical system. Rogliatti's book is fine for me who doesn't care to get as deep into Leica lore as many Leicaphiles. An accurate (I think), but brief handling of much of Leica's history. - -- Roger, List-Owner The LEG (Leica Enthusiasts Mailing List) http://www.topica.com/lists/leica
