Schnerdlites Hole-Boring Supplement is an 8-page, one-shot apazine published in December 1956 in the UK for OMPA #10. Exactly who by is a little unclear.

Schnerdlites was edited by Nigel Lindsay and the back page of Schnerdlites Hole-Boring Supplement says it was 'printed and published for OMPA by the editors of Schnerdlites, Helen Highwater [obviously a pseudonym] and Nigel Lindsay.' Off Trails and APAthy both credit it to Lindsay.

However, the front page says 'proprietor – Archie Mercer and drill sergeant – Ron Buckmaster' and reportedly it does resemble other Mercer fanzines of the period. The content is written by Lindsay, Mercer and the unrelated Ethel Lindsay.

So perhaps it was constructed by Mercer and published by Lindsay.
