Several persons are working independently on this.  I suspect we'll be
able to have copies from end-to-end in the next year or two.  I have
made leaders using the architectural blueprint process on library
quality vellum.  They look faaabulous.  They match almost the paper
being currently used for recuts.

There's no reason rolls couldn't be made (other than laziness) with the
leaders available to add, should a customer wish.  There are two styles
of leaders I know of: one lists the committee for about two feet, the
other does not have the committee, just the info and pictures.  I much
prefer this style.

I have several unpublished masters and have copied them for myself
and some friends.  The content throughout we copied with rubber
stamps.  When I make copies of my masters commercially available, they
will _not_ have the committee leaders.

The other question is why no words on pop rolls.  Really that's what
kept QRS alive all those years and fewer and fewer of us know the
words.

I have about 40 duplicates I'd like to trade for others I don't
have...
