Note: The movement s/n 511649 is NOT a motor barrel but
a standard mainspring barrel. All other
descriptions were the same. Thanks, great site.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Hamilton factory records describe Grade 942 as featuring a "Patent Motor Barrel." If you click the "Parts" tab, you will also see the 942/943 specified as "motor barrel on all movements." Feel free to contact us if you have evidence that supports a standard going barrel in your movement.
