(Note, there is some controversy over whether A=1930 or A=1931 I have used the most accepted A=1931 though I have no concrete evidence to support the position.)

Just a note; I haven't seen a factory document equating the Morrow letter code to the year of the hub's manufacture but the best substantiation of A=1931 is the relative dates of the blackout hubs and, that in cases where it does work to date a bike by the hub date and the serial number, A=1930 typically does not perform.
 
This is awesome and really helpful going to go over this quite a few times to make sure I don't miss anything. Thank you 37FLEETWOOD this will be great for newbies like me!
 
Thanks Fleetwood, there's some great info here. It's nice to have all the diagrams in one place. I have a few of the oddball hubs laying around so maybe I'll dig them out take them apart.
 
Tony Hadland has the best blog on Sturmey Archer Hubs. Instructional reference for repair of numerous Sturmey Archer hubs, including out of date models and some obscure ones. From Handland guide blog:

The AW has been covered, but here is its predecessor, the model K:

Great rebuild tutorial on that site! Do I remember correctly that the New Departure Model C is the pretty much the same internally as the Model D? I have a Model C that I need to service and I want to make sure I do it right.
