[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 9488510, member: 50"]Someone with an interest in Willett has put together a lot of information. [URL]http://www.dldebertin.com/willett/willett.htm[/URL] From what I can gather based on what I think he says, I think your line might have been introduced late 1950s. Just a snippet from the site.
