Please! Treasure Tracy and I were so sure to know at Gaydon last year - but unable to trace the maker of this now:

S Reich?
-
Yes, thank you, that's what we thought too ... but cannot find it in existing catalogues :cry:
-
Yes it is S.Reich.I have it in green and it's Uranium,but unfortunately I do not have the decorative plinth only a plain black one.1934 I believe :D.

glasswipe, PLEASE where did you find the proof? I'm lost in my books etc

Hi Pamela, PK Korrespondenz shows this as Reich 1936
Page ref at the bottom says: Seite 96 von 234 Seiten PK-2003-4-3 Stand 25.11.2003

Hi Pamala Anne
Great topic and nice to see an ID a wonderful piece of glass. I have had a look at at the link http://www.pressglas-korrespondenz.de/aktuelles/pdf/geisel-reich-opava.pdf, looks interesting if only I could read it!!!. Is there some way we could have some of Siegmar's work translated into English, here is a wonderful resauce of knowledge which a lot of us are missing, has anyone any idea's how this could be done, I did email Siegmar some years back, his reply was it would be cost to much, would this still be the reason?

Gosh! Thank you! That's why I was so sure I had seen it before and bought if for that reason!
Tony, a translation is difficult - I'm not as good as it might seem - and SG copyright goes first of course - Dieter Neumann and I have been trying to do our best - but as long as SG sells 'his' CDs on eBay we shall not be able to compete :angel:
-
Anne, you are a REAL star, as always! :kissy:

Hi Pamela
Are the CD's on ebay by SG in German, would he not consider an English version I am sure they would sell, or maybe we as a group could buy some form of rights to a translation.?

Hi Tony, as far as I know, the CD is exactly what we get here in German as subscribers of PK
-
The cost, as Seigmar points out, would be large (no, more accurately HUGE) at some 9-10 €cents per word, and those articles on processes and technological issues more likely to cost 15 €cents per word. Latest PK issues are @ 4-500 pages, and allowing 200 words, per page..... and issues dating back to 1998....
You would need a team of translators, copy-editors..... and someone to check that every translator was getting things correct.....
Page 6 of the Opava article, uses old German text...... so another more academic translator might well be required for that section.
No consortium would ever hope to recoup more than the smallest part of the costs of translation, never mind the fees paid to acquire the rights to produce an English language version.
It would, as you say, Tony, sell, but limited market, and I doubt many would want to pay @€100 or more per CD-Rom.
Without being rude, it would be cheaper to learn German. ;D ;D

Hi Macus
Thank you for your insite, a real wake up there as to the cost of my idea, I have thought of learning German and have tried once or twice with books. I might give it another try.
Congats on your book.

As far as I know: buying the CD (either Brockwitz or Walther) from Wayne: catalogue pages are same as in PK: four big ones on one DIN A 4 page
things got better since PK is available on CD - but all older PKs remain a nightmare and bigger size fax is out of offer >:D
