 If I'm right, the only ones had a direct work in the The Finished Mystery book was Rutherford, Fisher, Woodworth. Gertrude Woodcock Seibert had a role in the book. A matter of fact she named the book and Russell approved it.

Absolutely.  Hopefully this system will be a very, very, very distant memory!

Might add that Seibert was the secretary of the boo.k. The book was printed in Hammond, Indiana and while parts of the book and info that pertains it was sent to Hotel Margaret. Seibert would go theer and get the info regarding the book and gave it to Rutherford. The brothers did mention anything regarding Seibert in court  because she might went to prison too.

Gertrude Seibert was most famously known as the compiler of our first "Daily Text" book called "Daily Heavenly Manna" (my copy is dated 1907).  We continue to use a "Daily Test" book we now call Examining the Scriptures Daily right up to our present time.
