Aaron - Do you see anything interesting with the vane? I have a different piece that I copied from a website ... it does not show swallow tail vane at all.

Gregguy - Bottom right shows the RA (removable arm) version of this model.

Ed: I believe that looks like one of the scans I sent you. Let me know if you need more info on these and I can dig that catalog out again. Todd

You are probably right Todd. I think I'm good. I wanted to post that particular piece since it shows both a swallow tail and straight vane. And it has a good drawing of the RA's for gregguy.
Thanks,
Ed

That is what I have always thought it was Adam, but the numbers were kind of confusing. I got to get it out and try to figure out what is missing. I think its mostly there but all taken apart. Should be a fun project!
