major hub type table - add links with descriptive photos
Posted: Sat Aug 29, 2020 3:33 pm
It would be helpful if the Major Hub Type table in the Introduction section (which is very helpful and interesting!) had links assigned to each of the Hub Type IDs that you could click on that would take you to a photo of that hub with arrows and notes pointing out the various major points of difference. Now, if someone wants to actually see these differences one has to search for a VAM that uses that die, which can be a challenge. The arrows and notes would make it much easier to dial into exactly what the points of differences are.
