There That is interesting, thanks! Not Hathi but the Sächsische Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) indeed has an online archive that can be used to improve the German TZ entries before 1942 [1] i think (online; maybe more in flesh)! [1] <http://katalog.slub-dresden.de/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?ct=dis...> Interestingly the edition no. 40 that you've quoted is missing there (but maybe they can interact with the New York library to get at least in touch with the digital version), but besides it is more complete. I have a very slow internet connection, and the interface is hyper-hyper, but i will dig into this in the upcoming time and report back when i have a ready set of rules according to the Uhrmacherzeitung. (It may take some time, but i will. Also, blindly assuming they use official records themselve.) Completely off-topic, but very interesting: in 1917 we have nice topics like «Friede, der, in weiter Ferne» («Peace, the, in far distance») and, on page 258, «Die wahre Kriegsursache» («The real cause of war»): Prof[essor]. W. Wille has found out that there is a relationship in between solar spots and major wars (from 1750 on)? Uuh -- let there be more light! |-Andrew --steffen
