Thanks for helping :)
New question: T137 - what does that mean?
Is this production # for (1951-52 T137) of 10,693 units mean 10,693 units of 1952-1953 B-3-PWs? Or is this an aggregate?
Probably easy question for you but sometimes I forget stuff. Is the S/N simply sequential? If so here is my math:
83934000 minus 83926501 = 7,499
in Detroit, Michigan
88767500 minus 88766901 = 599 units built in San Leandro, California
The total would be 8098 units TOTAL! Joe's site says 10,693.
These numbers, however, cover 1952 and 1953 production. For some reason they did not separate them. It is probably reasonable to assume a roughly 50/50 split (1952 and 1953 - meaning about 4050 units of B-3-PWs were built in 1952.
Am I goofed? Seems that the published number on Joe's site must be an aggregate number including something else. ???
