Cor, that takes me back, ......IIRC they were special order, so I doubt you'll find anything on 'tinterweb.

Indeed-I don't think you can do much more than call it a long series Autolock! Ted

That's why I love this place. I'll take any knowledge I can about this industry, even if it's knowledge I'll never apply.
