Actually, I know that. I only credited Dr. T with the list he printed 
because he said he made it from information from several sources, so it 
is unique to a point. I also have several books that outline the "sunny 
16" rule, plus assorted wheel and slide rules (one is an old Kodak book 
with lots of wheel guides - great book, although my copy is a little 
dated) that I have collected in the 20 years I have been photographing.

I dropped out of this discussion a while ago as I originally asked if 
someone could help me obtain printed instructions for a light meter I 
purchased; not how or why I should meter. All I really wanted to know is 
what all the abreviations are on the meter so I can set it correctly to 
see if it works. Somehow a request for instructions turned into a 
discussion on if and when you should use a light meter. Interesting 
reading, though.  {:>)

Thank you to the 2 people who actually tried to help me find 
instructions.

p.s. I, too, have an old Weston meter. It was my grandfathers. It still 
works - sometimes.  {:>)
