Thanks, Funk.

I have some of those Billard standard plates and will watch to learn about them.

The video about Billard standard was disappointing because, other than showing a few different style plates, he told nothing of interest about them.

   Info of this nature is rather sketchy and hard to find on the interweb. I have the two training manuals and an early equipment catalog of billard.

   the good plates are probably the rarest of the bunch they go for good money on E-Bay.  I have a bunch of reading barbell plates which is what good turned into later on.

I recall sending away for two small boxes of 2+1/2 pound plates from Good BB when I was a kid.

Reading was another few plates I had.....quite a few actually.....thanks for jump sharting the old spank memory bank Funk.  :D
