Default Re: Strange 512 Block

Someone entered the wrong order of digits at the end of the block casting number at Tonawanda.They caught the mistake after a few blocks were casted already,so they ground down the last 3 digits and restamped them by hand all while they corrected the casting mold.
This was a scarce occurance on some other casted components too.
