Hummel is given as C. “Humell”; J. L. Fairbanks as “J. C. Fairbanks”; D. Fennimore as “E. Fennimore”; and so forth. The list of periodicals has a curious omission (The Magazine Antiques) and doesn’t include some more recent technical periodicals, such as Fine Woodworking (published since 1975), that contain useful articles on twentieth-century furniture making.
