Bob, I don=E2=80=99t remember us ever recording or using frame ref numbers. I=
n fact, don=E2=80=99t think frames were ever numbered from a production stan=
dpoint. Nearest you=E2=80=99ll get is/was the body number but the commission=
 number was the most important of all.

Remember, it=E2=80=99s rarely a good idea to squat, unless you=E2=80=99ve al=
ready removed your spurs!
