Hi seyser.
Sure appreciate you posting those great pictures. Amazing clarity for such old pictures. Are you having to enhance the pictures to get them to come out that well?

Hi OM, Thanks for the feedback! I have to crop most of them and magnify others as they are coming from a few different sources. Photos, brochures, internet, etc... there are some that just don’t show well so I haven’t posted them. Many have quite amazing clarity for a photo that was taken 75+ years ago. That credit goes to the photographer and his camera!

Hi, Bursitis.
On the RD8 radiator, the Caterpillar lettering is raised from the casting but it is not set on a raised pad like the Earthworm lettering. I suspect that all they did was make a pad that covered the original Caterpillar lettering with the Earthworm lettering on the pad.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
