Obviously very angry, he demanded to know why in *&^%$#@! I'd given credit for some cartridge or other (he didn't say which) to a later "originator" instead of to the person who'd designed an earlier version of it. I replied that I'd simply used the reliable data that I'd been able to get and hadn't used any hearsay dimensions or unsubstantiated rumors.
