Don "older than dirt" Valentine sez:

I
can't even
recall the number of what I believe may have

been the first

Kadee coupler box.
This was the one with the small pin that fit

into a slot in

the coupler shank
that, in turn, had two springs with round

inserts inside them

that were
installed fore and aft of said pin. Even a young

buck like

you, Denny, should
remember that one (-: but may have overlooked it

in your post.

Don, 'at's a numbah foah.

I 'member usin' them when I was a mere tyke of 12
or there'bouts. Had the straight pin for the
mechan'c'l ramp, don'cha know?
