Guy -
The entry I found on "white paper" at Wikipeida does not match your previous quote that:
Technical: Helps influencers (like engineers) to understand how a concept or technology works.
Rather, it simply states that:
Technical: Describes how a certain technology works.
Don't know why the wording changed. If you check back to the post I made previously regarding the definition of "white paper" it does include those few extra words--which I did get from the dictionary--and they don't change the meaning.

Actually, it was I who pointed you to the magazine with that information several years ago:
You da man!

The problem I have is that, folowing your use of the term "white paper", people start referring to this paper as a "meeting handout" and you're expressing hope that someone else will post a copy by saying things like:
If the SAE paper is available and posted here...
...and...It would be a great addition to the site...
I don't say things
like that, I say that very thing. And I don't see where the problem is. Am I supposed to put in a caveat "only if it's legal... " every time I ask if someone can make an item available? I thought we were supposed to run those things by Kev. The that the article in question may have been used as a "handout" does not preclude copyright. It probably was used as a handout.

..instead of doing the legwork, like Randy did
I asked Randy if he would do that. I presume he had access to the originals, and the "legwork" would not be burdensome. Any submission like that has to follow a protocol, which I don't have handy.
Speaking of leg work, the old thread of mine you cite on the Starkweather/Ward Packard included my writing several letters and reading articles and an entire book on the subject. In fact, I ran across some of the research lately and I should follow up on it.

I highly encourage you to look at the SAE site, specifically:
they discuss how they maintain and protect their rights.
That's well worth looking at, but I'll trust that if you sense even the appearance of impropriety, I and a few others here will probably hear about it faster than we can hit "delete."
It would probably be beneficial to have the referral to the site's protocol for submissions referred to in a "sticky" thread.
I don't really appreciate the allusion that I've somehow come under suspicion as an intellectual property thief for asking Randy to post something here.
So, then, who is the author, W.E. Schwieder? Anyone heard of him?
