From: "Frank Haber" 

An uncle had one of those illicit copies of Smith's chart* on his wall.  It
was on bad 1880's paper, and fell apart before I could covet it.

The poor bastard barely made a living util late in life. The Royal Society
toffs tried to steal his stuff in quite shameless fashion, and published
said layer chart in pirated versions, which every engraver in the Western
world then, in turn, stole for his own.

So now Yorkshire has invented the airplane and the geological layer cake
both? You going into competition with the Russkys?
