[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by DSchmitt You can crunch statictics about car types and ownership all you want, but that will never tell you what mix you should have to be prototypical at a given location (or even a general area) and time period. [/quote] [:(]Yes you're right. The figures stated would have been gross generalisations anyway as the volatile 40's included specific cause and effect of where cars would be- economic, military, legal, car type shortages, expiry periods and operational interventions ALL impact on a month to month, year to year and seasonal basis. HOW MANY types of car a road owned bears a POOR RELATIONSHIP to WHERE those cars may be found, except as cited for very sepcific reasons and periods (i.e. dates). I monitor about 25 rr related yahoo elists/ groups as well as here and other forums and am amazed at, tho not surprised (as I am a stats man anyway), the 'dipersion of cars' and causes of it. Soome groups to join and search for selective data would be http://groups.yahoo.com/group/STMFC/ http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/wplist/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nscale1930-75/ http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/CBQ/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/citrusmodeling/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Reefer-madness/ hope this helps your search, dave [:p]
