Hello Wayne,

   Would you be interested in doing this for the Duo-Art test roll
also?  I have the following originals:

       1921 Electric Duo-Art Tester - Light blue oilcloth leader.
       Included instruction sheet, seemingly original, makes reference
       to "The 1918 tester..."  Don't know why this should be included
       with a roll whose label clearly says 1921.  I have two copies of
       this roll.

       Duo-Art Test Roll No. 3 - Illustrated brown oilcloth leader,
       other roll illustrations done in the manner of Audiographic
       rolls.  No. 3 Instruction Manual included in box.  I have three
       copies of this roll.

-John Grant
