Dennis, I think Steve answered this, but I'll expound. SSC *must have* had Lot and order info (in fact we know they did - well maybe - they might be railroads' Lot numbers). In very few drawings is su

Thanks, Mike (there might actually be a couple of interest, we found another tube in that sequence). I don't know who has the Pressed Steel drawings - Keith has some photos, but I tried locating the P
