Here's a thought.  Maybe PTG could pay someone to compile it, then sell the
information to members and non-members.  Maybe today's manufacturers would
be quite willing to supply that information on an annual basis.

   1. It is in the interest of us all to have that information.
   2. We would then not be reliant on an individual to supply that
   information.
   3. It should be relatively easy to maintain such a list in the
   "digital age."

PTG would be an ideal entity to ensure both accuracy and perpetuity of this
information.
