I am trying to add some pertinent details to a historical BASE timeline, and can not find out details of when Mark Hewitt invented the LRM. Can anyone help with these details?

I started using LRM in about 1988. I think I read about it in one of the early publications, 'Baseline' or 'Jump'. If you track down some of the old issues you might find something more definate.

BASELine Magazine 1986 - 1988

Jump Magazine Issue 4 to 8 (1984 - 1989)

BASELine magazine Vol 2 Issue 2 (Autumn 1987) has an article by Mark Hewitt on the LRM.

Vol 2 Issue 3 (Winter 1987) has a further article on it.

Mick,
Dennis McGlynn had early designs for line release toggles.

Now I have managed to have a look through the magazines.

Thanks. I updated the timeline again http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/wiki/Timeline

I have found so many changes from various historical references. Even Wikipedia did not have all the correct information.
