I agree with this, but am hoping to find proof. Non-skid seemed to be a
matter of mixing sand into the paint so its easy to conclude that the
walkway was one color only. Why mix and mask two paints in this fashion.

I would appreciate it if you would, and could let me know the source. I
might have access to it if I don't have it personally. On a side note,
I've heard rumors that the '71 BN annual has an article on the paint
scheme in question. Its an issue I don't possess. Might be a place to
check first if you have it.
Thanks for the info'
