They are both fixed, but the early one is straight and the later one is arched in design. So I still would like to know approximately how many where made? Can anyone out there shed any light on this? I know a lot of the old timers are gone but maybe someone has been told something. I would like to here from you. thanks john.   [Reply]  [No Email]

It was fixed style only, not an adjustable type like they had for the 20's only other axle was a cane axle, but its serial suffix would be either CNW or HSCNW. different critter altogether   [Reply]  [No Email]
