Wow, if it's that simple how come Johnny got the two steps reversed?
Only a complete fool would spend the night scanning micro film looking for an order if Klein's never stocked C 2766. Waldman actually got the narrative right:
Mr. BELIN. Did the FBI indicate at what time, what period that they felt you might have received this rifle originally?
Mr. WALDMAN. We were able to determine from our purchase records the date in which the rifle had been received, and they also had a record of when it had been shipped, so we knew the approximate date of receipt by us, and from that we made---let's see, we examined our microfilm records which show orders from mail order customers and related papers, and from this determined to whom the gun had been shipped by us.

Admittedly in my haste, I should have clarified my original post and can see how you would erroneously come to that conclusion but I was describing that there was two steps to linking Kleins business records to any particular customer. One of the steps I wrote makes this clear by my heading of
"Locate the receiving record of the order for future identification."Only a complete fool would spend the night scanning micro film looking for an order if Klein's never stocked C 2766. Waldman actually got the narrative right:
We know Kleins stocked C2766 because the reason the FBI contacted Kleins in the first place was because the FBI had a record that Crescent shipped Kleins C2766* and Waldman could indeed have searched all of their microfilms to find the Hidell order but as Waldman tells us he initially narrowed down the approx dates of his search by locating Kleins purchase records.
Mr. BELIN. Do you know how the FBI happened to contact you or your company?
Mr. WALDMAN. The FBI had a record of a gun of this type and with this serial number having been shipped to us by Crescent Firearms.*
I, Louis Feldsott, being duly sworn say:
1. I am the President of Crescent Firearms, Inc., 2 West 37th Street, New York 18, New York.
2. On November 22, 1963, the F.B.I. contacted me and asked if Crescent Firearms, Inc., had any records concerning the sale of an Italian made 6.5 m/m rifle with the serial number C 2766.
3. I was able to find a record of the sale of this rifle which indicated that the weapon had been sold to Kleins' Sporting Goods, Inc., Chicago, Illinois on June 18, 1962. I conveyed this information to the F.B.I. during the evening of November 22, 1963.http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/feldsot.htmMytton meltdown for everyone to enjoy -- ROFL
Sorry, but you're the one who's struggling and failing to provide a legal precedent that a master control book must be presented in addition to the comprehensive corroborating Kleins business records that Waldman supplied.
