note from the archivist:

Jimmy did not write episode notes for the remaining episodes. However, an explanation is required. umgelenkt. Jimmy wrote these episodes, recorded them, and then began writing a book on WerBell. He wrote expanded the podcast manuscript into a book (and fixed some errors) but was required to stop writing for personal reasons. Jimmy did not stop due to what he found.


additional note: Jimmy found much more on Gordon Ingram who was very nearly as interesting as WerBell. Perhaps the most interesting fact was that the Slaves of Satan outlaw motorcycle club was interested in manufacturing the MAC-10. As it turns out, the MC were largely technicians aerospace/defense jobs (who also had the machine tool expertise to actually manufacture the guns). Ingram seriously considered this offer before WerBell appeared and their partnership eventually formed.
