[ I have no financial interest in this book. Just like you, I had to order my own copy.  I had prompt and excellent service when I ordered the DVD - delivery from England to Canada by surface mail took about a week and the package used several of the latest Machins ]   The author, D.G.A. Myall, has defined a numbering system ("Deegam") that is so effective that no re-numbering will ever be needed, no matter how many new Machins appear. The handbook discusses and lists everything and is profusely illustrated, including pictures of all phosphor types and complete booklets. I say again ... buy this book! The listings found on these web pages are no where near complete - for completeness, I refer you to the above "book".
