Dr. Dave, I would like to inform you that Dr. T has changed.  Now,
while he is mounting his 800 or so slides from Greece, it takes
him an entire night to mount one roll and he is keeping every
single slide (minus the ones with such overlap that cannot be
saved in any mount :()

He is using the Spicer mounts too but with an Albion mount 
for alignment instead of an RBT.  
Somehow he decided that this works better (same idea
as with the RBT, cut the top of the Albion mount with scissors and
for from there... Many thanks to Dr. Harold for his great idea and Mr.
Spicer for providing us with such variety of mounts)
