What a effort you put into this book! Well done!
My Lego Technic history started when my father bought the 953 Car Chassis, which I found as small kid very interesting. So, reading your book I miss a little bit the earlier technic lego parts. Have e.g. a look to the inventory of the 8859 Tractor: first differential, axle connectors, tires. Or 8865 which was the first car with front-suspension.
Of course I understand that being complete will be a huge effort :-)
