Serial Number 9860436 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: Elgin serial number 9860436 is marked "No. 270"
It is not marked "Veritas". If it is not marked
"Veritas" then it is not a Veritas grade. Also,
the grade No. 270 was only described as being
adjusted to positions (number unspecified - see:
http://mb.nawcc.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15
5314&d=1354736357 &
http://mb.nawcc.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=12
8243&d=1334775769). I know of no Elgin
documentation which states that it was adjusted to
five positions (although it may well have been).
Best regards,
Kent
