Owen & Clipper 47: Concerning references sources.

If you would like I have several books in my library pertaining to automotive history that the writers of books never list any reference as to sources they obtained their information from. If both of you would like I think I can list about 10 major books in my automotive library that have no references sources printed in them at all.


I once had a letter in an CCCA publication when Kimes asked about information concerning the English built auto the Invicta. When I mailed my findings to Kimes and knowing that they would be published I included in the letter the sources and reference material that I used.

Regarding me listing reference materials that I use when posting in here isn't going to happen on a regular basis. However when asked to furnish reference sources that I have used when asked I will gladly do so. Such as the case with Mr. Cooper asked me to do so today.

The bottom line if I am writing to have a piece published for money or for free, I know dang well that I had better list my reference sources. In here it isn't going to happen unless someone makes a request of me to do so.
