Serial Number 7052768 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: According to the Elgin Master sheets all grade 116
were pendant set and according to all other
submissions made here all were pendant set.
However, this one was made in the last run of
grade 116 and for some reason came out as a Lever
set movement. One reason could be is that Elgin
became low or ran out of parts and rather than
make more they use what was available. This was
not unusual at the time.
