Ian, that is why I think I'd like to see one weighed on "modern" scales. Not that I think the scales are any different, I just think the reporting is a little different. On the other hand, remember, you're talking about Shelby here, that fellow could get some facts mixed up and tell some stories, that is for sure.

Nice summary John, but those figures in the books are the exact ones in question since they seem to be simply pulled from press releases of the day. Still, those you've posted seem more realistic than others I've seen.
