I do not know any answers, but I would like to find out... I believe it was
me that Murray was refering to about the 1920s literature. It was my memory
of said documents/ books that caused me to latch on to this thread. I will
put in a little book reading to see if I can find it, but it would take
several years to read every book on my beekeeping shelves, However I can
narrow it down by date and see what I can come up with.

In the interim... Can someone PLEASE find such a centre comb? My typing
fingers a sore due to over-use!
