This apparently relates to a letter Prof Rainey wrote to BAR, reproduced
here: http://members.fortunecity.com/yahuwthah/Resource-577/AnsonLetter.htm
This letter evidently refers to two other BAR articles in July/August 1985,
and in May/June 1994. I would suggest you look those up.

I wouldn't be so quick to doubt Prof Rainey. I suggest you first look up
all the above exchanges between Prof Rainey and others on BAR.
