I - 1927, 1947
C - 1928, 1948

the first 10 letters spell PNEUMATICS, I expect the next 9 would have spelt HYDRAULICS, but they'd already used up some of the letters....

It was written, in the last line just above the picture of the serial!

I can't believe I missed it.

Well, at least now it looks like that aspect of it is narrowed down!


Cheers
Ty

Is it possible to get some clearer pics of it, I've found a few things, but to save hours of fighting with my scanner, a few photo's could help me ID the relevant model.


Cheers
Ty
