I'd love to see the Mattison letter if you'd post it. I bet many would enjoy the history education.

I'll get the letter posted in the next couple of days. It is pretty interesting.

Very interesting post--the matter of pilot cars is certainly not heavily discussed.

"that they had hand built engines.."

Maybe that is what the pin punch stamped "P" is on the front of the cylinder head. Any chance you could post a picture of that?

I'll see if I can find the "P" picture. It is a letter "P" with a cresent under it punched with a punch into the endface of the drivers side cylinder head.
