NEC

[texie]

I have every edition of the NEC going back to 1972 when I started in the trade. It would be interesting to know the word counts, article counts, etc. of each over the years. Anybody know such trivia?

I know he goes back to 1915. You might try and pm him.

Ken's collection is impressive! Given the different font and page sizes over the years it's hard to gauge the growth, hence my original post.

He also has a spread sheet/time line of various articles/sections and the changes.

LOL well his books go back to the 1896 so I guess he goes back to 1915.... :lol:.

Yep and he is more than willing to share everything. I believe I have his spreadsheet somewhere.

And his NEC collection goes back pretty far as well.
