Thank you for such a detailed and informative post. I wish I could have attended. I find your comments on the syncrometer and plate zapping of great interest, and importance. Your posts I have copied and pasted into my files for future reference, and follow up. I hope to acquire a tape of the conference, particularly of Dr.'s Loyd, Sutherland, and Clark.
I hope to be there next year, and I for one hope to meet you.
Plate zapping is what Dr. Sutherland has recommended to me, and I am working with the slides now on occasion.
