My point on this is that "on sheet" has been presented by people over the
past 30 some years (please let me know if anyone has anything to show this
explanation given prior to that) but, has no substance other than the idea
that someone looked for two words that correponded to OS, and has no idea
what the real definition and source of the term "OS" is... The OS has been
used for at least 100 years, and is certainly documented properly
somewhere - I have looked and hope to someday establish its beginning - As I
said previously, it links with the telegraph code for important info for all
points in that era, and I hit a brick wall in connecting to train movements.
.
I started this extension of the topic hoping that someone had something to
offer that would assist me in locating other documentation (I have looked
for it for some time) - so far, I have nothing that links "OS" and "On
Sheet" other than some people liking the idea (i.e why I called it
nonsense) - I will continue myself, but, I should apologize for being
what some may call being a nitpicker, but, this is my job in the effort to
locate the factual source of such info - and I realize most people don't
care at that level, but, I have to.
Thanks everyone (and I'll shut up on this topic in this forum)
