You're pretty close to right with the analogy. Stanley is the original
BORG. They either bought out, or run into the ground just about all the
competition. Since they were the largest, amny of the competitors just
used the Stanley numbering sequence on their planes. Some added a 0 in
front or used the length of the plane, but the reality is that the
Stanley numbers became the defacto standard. Memorize the site
word-for-word, you WILL be tested, %-) and there shouldn't be any
problems. You'll also be required to memorize the Miller's Falls and
Sargent numbers and be able to cross reference them at a moment's
notice. Oh yeah, there are about 20 "Types" of each number so you'll
need to memorixe the type study as well. There you go, that should keep
you busy for the rest of the afternoon. BSEG
