That doesn't look like it, but it does reaffirm that I did not learn enough stuff as a kid.
Oh, and you've hit upon my reason for the search - I want something more comprehensive than currently published materials to use in educating my grandsons. I will have to strip out the really dangerous stuff, of course, if I don't want their mother & grandmother to put me in traction.
The responses have been great - I've already got a couple of new sources I didn't know about. Thanks to all.
