My understanding of the Q&A is that the answers are merely guidance and clarification from the GDC, and that the manual and updates are still the law of the land. <R105> has been modified to say that only cerrtain Bimba cylinders are allowed. <R48> has not been modified, and as Tristan showed, the flow chart indicates that old KOP Parker cylinders are legal. (I went through it myself to be sure.) The GDC has made it very clear that this is not the intent, by modifying <R105>, but <R48> still stands as written. I agree with you, Dave, that the intent of the GDC is unambiguous, but I think that it's foolish to not acknowledge that there is seemingly a conflict between <R48> and <R105>. I don't want to beat this topic to death any further, but can anyone use the <R48> flowchart to show that the old KOP Parker cylinders are illegal? Or should we ask the GDC to modify <R48>?
