                AN APPEAL TO ASTRONOMERS

Who have unpublished or halfpublished discoveries, contributions, 
observations or thoughtful excogitations and new acquaintances 
with one of the most remarkable stars RY Sct are asked to
kindly and generously send to me. I would like to reinvestigate
"de novo" the whole mysterious problem of this variable.
