Target round. At our last visit to the CWM, we discussed this point with Jim Whitham, Collections Manager, Transportation and Artillery. Unless a museum is given unlimited funds and a full time expert work force, there will be "inconsistencies". Now, CMP experts such as ourselves will notice minor "faults", but your average Joe won't. In all, I commend Jim and his crew for being able to keep their heads above water.
