My policy is to link only to pages where (a) the full instrument is shown, and (b) the instrument was put on the web by the person who created the instrument, thus ensuring that the instrument was intended to be put into the public domain.  If you know of additional pages for me to link to, please e-mail me via the link above.  Thanks to everyone who has sent in links; there are too many of you to reply individually!
