Ingeslagen letters op motorklep
Posted: 21 Jul 2011 20:41
Op mijn motorklep staan in de linkerboven hoek de letters 'ST'. Op het registry is dit topic al eens aan bod gekomen en er is een lijst gemaakt waaruit blijkt dat de late A's en de vroege B's dit hadden. (http://porsche356registry.org/resources ... kings.html) Het lijkt dus typisch iets van Reutter. Er kwamen ook andere lettercombinaties voor. Afgelopen week kreeg ik de volgende email van Frank Jung waarin het mysterie opgelost wordt:
These letters should be the initials or signs by the Reutter-inspectors. They somewhen changed the control / supervising system: instead of different inspectors at every single stage of production, one person had been responsible for a certain car (or a group) throughout the whole production process. At the end (right before painting the body) they marked "their" body with their symbol / initials. They used to do this with paint right on the body - but the workers at the paint-shop complained about this...
I´ve seen that list "Mysterious Rain Shield Markings" - will try to find out if I can identify the people / allocate the initials to the former inspectors...
Erg leuk om te weten en weer een stukje historie erbij.
