I am impressed with your findings and envious that I was not able to attend. It seems that you are now in the process of establishing hard facts about this frame style and hopefully in due course an informed article will follow.
We need to give some consideration as to how this kind of information can be published / shared - possibly password secured Adobe Acrobat ?

I agree about an article in the Guild Journal and perhaps a presentation at TTRAG, too. Perhaps the research could be collaborative so as not to place too heavy a burden on one person. You could all use the same form to survey different barns and then compile the data.
There has to be an easier way of finding CG barns.
Is there some way to get the word out to barn owners,historical societies, or some other group what you are looking for? I realize that most would have no idea if they have a CG barn or not, but it seems that some other way of discovering the true range and extent is called for other than leg work by one or a few trying to knock on doors and ask if they can see inside a barn.
Anyway, I'm a little jealous of your get together -- it sounds like great fun.
