Revision as of 15:10, 3 December 2013

For some time the Fred Chesson data has been elusive on the internet. This remains as an excellent example of the need to "cross-pollinate" data across the internet. So many people just assumed that it would "always" be around, that they simply didn't save a copy or post on their own sites. Although the belief that "the internet is forever" is quite common, this is only true for important items such as Twitter posts, not one of a kind data like Fred Chessons. (note sarcastic tone...)


As part of my eternal struggle against limiting data about these important historical artifacts, I am creating a new cross referenced database that like this site, will be completely open to the public. The Goals of the database are to allow full cross reference of all components of all systems from a single free text box. An example of this would be like searching "CRV-12345" would return a description of that component, and all systems that used it. It would provide quick linking to a details page on Radionerds.com so that the DB just maintains the cross reference


Here is the complete RAW "Chesson" Data that I have. Please feel free to copy and repost, reuse and otherwise appropriate for any reason you wish.
