I had written- "Relevant to Nicolas'well-informed views about the backstaff is a recent article by Jim Bennett, "Catadioptrics and commerce in eighteenth-century London", in History of Science, vol xliv, 2006, pages 247-277. I have it as a .pdf file of about a megabyte, and can post it to the list, or send it backstage, as requested." I will email copies tomorrow to those members who have requested. If you want your name added to that list, say so now.
