[edit] Differences between 1948 and 1949

Looking around today, I've found a few sites that mention specific equipment at the fair in 1948 that aren't listed in the 1949 program that I was using as a reference. For now, integrating the data into the existing lists seems to work, but I wonder if some of the 1949 data didn't apply to the 1948 fair. As I find more information, I'll be sure to update this too.
