What else, after 1940, except some Tamayas, has a certificate with all zeros? Can the list members give me ONE example? C. Plath and Cassens Plath are not considered because they DO NOT provide a certificate with a list of errors. I have a wild guess: this depends on whether the manufacturer has testing equipment or not:-) Freiberger and SNO do have the equipment (I know!), so they provide certificates with errors listed. They are usually not all zeros.
