Keep fighting the good fight, Ted.

I had an idea and checked it out.

The superset spreadsheet shows the Davis as confirmed, reported by Dave Seaborn.

Back in 2006, the super-set spreadsheet also had Ames (hands above head) confirmed with American Beauty 460. I contacted the guy who posted it,
and he has recently stated that this f/b combo was a mistake by him.

Therefore, not all (but most data on the super-set spread sheet) are correct.

I'd expect a few errors with something like that. I was just hoping to move things along, had a quick idea looked it up and passed on the info as-is. I suspect that listing is also in error, but it might be worth checking into if it's possible.
The super-set spreadsheet may also be the source of the info on T206 resource.

I can't think of many lists or references that aren't built on others. And as usual, errors made on one end up being passed forward when it's used as a source. My other hobby has a handful of items in my small niche that were described in the 1930's, catalog listed, but which aren't known at all today and are still listed in the catalog. One of that hobbys classic references is from 1902 and was put together with access to official records and still lists items that by the official records can't exist (And actually don't)
