Leaflet outer pages105 viewsNote that this says the serial number is LP 793 599 and not LA 7-93 599. This is not only a departure from the standard format at the time, but I assume the LP refers to the Pro whereas LA for Los Angeles would seem to have been the standard. Furthermore, the date of manufacture is given as 19th August, whereas received wisdom is that "7-93" would indicate July. Not in any way important, but interesting in that it suggests a factory time lag.tone256
