Gary,
Only one small thing I'd like to add. The early Samsonite 1x2 plates
(and I think, but would have to check that i have models with 2x2 cellulose
acetate plates and 1x2 ABS plates) had a small rectangular pip on the
bottomisde, between where the studs fit, instead of teh more common circular
pip we see today.
ANd those 1x2 plates were the ONLY 1xN plates in existance, so that
models would often have 10 or more of them in a row. (See 348 jet
as an example)
-Bill
