Thanks!
Greetings! Apologies up front for low res photos. I can't find this one in any of my sources, but it sure looks like a DDO (date) to me. There is...
Thanks for pointing that out. Clearly, I shouldn't have said "die" in any case. I do seem to remember there was a theory that the hub snapped into...
