    A post script to this article: In the article I comment “It is not known whether copies of these sheets [price quotation lists] were produced by the HSE itself, but it seems evident as several newspapers published the quotation list the next day.” I have later discovered the master’s thesis by Eeva Kokki (2005). She notes, based on an interview with the HSE’s employee, that it was indeed the case (“Couriers were eagerly waiting for the protocol lists that were handed out by the porter. … The press also got these lists.”, my translation).
