First to May 1928, short 2" dia straight section behind the ujoint forging followed by a 12" taper section

Second had 14" tapered section directly behind the ujoint forging. March 1928 thru 1931

Third was tapered over its entire length. June 1931 til end

Per Judging Stds

Looks like some overlapped as usual

Rusty,

In my 2011 revision,..
The 3rd was used from the beginning of 1928 till the end and was used with the
1st or 2nd as an alternate TT.

Hey D.J.

Dble checked my JS and I show as I posted. Thats quite a revision of the standards. HOWEVER. I'm using my old 1989 copy. Guess it's time to spring for the current edition. My apologies to Kevinmac if I misled in any way.
