I have found that kind of information in the past from Googling. You really are supposed to do a bit of work with assignments, you know. You should not expect an answer handed to you on a plate.

The first part of Locks Safes and Security has a pretty good run through the development of pin tumbler locks. As I recall, amazon.com has the option to read through the first several pages online. This might just work out. I know before I received the books, I had already read several pages on the amazon.com website. This will likely not give you everything you are after, but it may give you some of it.

Or you could just buy LSS. I'm sure your teacher would give you an A if you spent $200 on a source

I did read, and I noted that, but I don't know what the difference is. Care to fill me in?

Louis XVI the guy that got his head chopped, was a locksmith as a hobby. Thats always something to throw into a conversation when its getting dull. you can find references to this on google.
