As I recall what Guy Fay once said, when IH was getting a new part or existing part from a new outside vendor, they would have the vendor cast the word "SAMPLE" into it. That effectively marked the part for additonal inspection or whatever when it came in. If the part checked out as OK, it got used. Remember that Louisville didn't have a foundry until 1949. Until then, all castings had to come from somewhere else, either internal to IH or not. The "NEW PATTERN" is probably a similar story but may have not been an outside casting.
