There are a surprisingly large number of links on that
page to
www.columbia.edu, and I don't see a single reference to the source.
Plagiarism I guess.
Yes, I know it is bad form to reply to my own emails. Source for most
of the item description is at:
http://www.columbia.edu/acis/history/tabulator.html
An interesting site and I am going to have to have a poke around when
I get home.
