These are now the oldest uncertified parts on the PT. In fact, my first part was released in update 2002-03 so it probably even predates my foray parts authoring (the first post of which is
here on 14 Mar 2002). I'd like them either rebuilt or William Wood found and affirmed the CA.
It has never been released and I doubt that someone will rewrite it - at least noone did in the last 20 years.
Delete.

Well if it's non-CA we shouldn't be distributing it. So we either find the author or it gets removed.

How did the files get a CA header if the author didn't affirm the CA?

Unknown. I assume some quirk of the PT.

Probably:
At Fri Nov 15 23:05:03 2013, a new version of the file was submitted.

It is standard procedure add that line to get rid off of all warnings. You simply don't care if the previous author has actually signed the CA 'cos all parts since 2007 have to be CA.

I asked Chris about William. William would not have been given PT Submit or Review privileges unless he had affirmed the CA. I consider this issue closed. The parts will remain.

William submitted the cameras long before there was any requirement for a CA and in 2003 his submission and review privileges were perfectly fine:
At Tue Nov 25 01:20:03 2003, a new version of the file was submitted.

So either Chris provides the signed CA or the parts get deleted.

From Chris:
Quote:... he wouldn't have been given PTSubmit and PTReview without doing so. It is possible he had not affirmed at the time of the 2008 comments, but did so subsequently.
I take Chris at his word. This matter is closed.
