Yes, I do realize I will have to renumber the chapters I'd originally listed as Chapters 111 to 130 – I'm still formulating the contents of the S.A. and L.A. chapters, nos. 111 and up!

I think, on what I envisage at the moment, the work will be completed by Chapter 160 – (originally planned chapter 130) Building A Good Quality T12 Soldering Iron Controller.

Appendices will deal with Circuit Symbols and Units, Screw and Fastener Sizes, Decibel Tables, etc.

I'm not going to write reams of appendices as there are innumerable standard public–domain reference works dealing with these!
