Thanks Jeff I read through that thread as well and I saw C 37 I was hoping for a D maybe 38 I have a G I don't think each letter means a year
This is a knockout hub I have been told cool as can be.
Pic reference of another Morrow I have
The hub is free floating?/ concur, Whaaatt?? lol.. Ingenious! What's to stop that wheel from "free floating" into your danged rear bars, fenders and chain!.
And as far as C being 37,, that's the problem with that dang thread, it's a fricken hodgepodge of posts that don't fit into the checker board puzzle so well..
But that quote by the op, does make the most sense. More sense than most anything else inside there.
I had not completely understood it previously, in fact, as overall the whole is so confusing but..
It sets up the reason for the confusion for the letter reversion that makes it so tough.. You have to unite the letter and drop out to discern the correct letter to its date. .
because of CWC's early abandonment of the letter and 5 number set which begins to start a new date sequence, addition of the Cw stamp after the set, it gets more confusing!!..
But, that's what post war is missing.. take the end of 41 as a K, and new set as an A.. 42-A, 43-B, follow through until the Cw stamp appears,, 1948 or so?? and the following years CWC uses a Letter preceding the Cw stamp, ACw. BCw until 1951 CWC puts the year "51 Cw".
So, early war letter sets of A-1942, B-1943 are also deducible by the changes in the rear drop-out used, then the Cw stamp indicates a set change. You could take that backwards too, '51cw-1951, BCw=1950 ACw=1949 and Cw could or would =1948. A 1942, B 1942, C-1944, D-1945, E-1946, F-1947 and if there's extra letters issued mid year they could squeeze into the year span preceding the Cw stamp which you can get to by counting backwards from 51Cw. .
Following that logic, and because that whole thread is so mixed up,, counting the letters backward pre-war is a piece of cake.
Or lets just say, it's the dammed easiest way out of the reckless riddle. [grin]
And I'll add, CWC didn't always make it so simple on their bikes, try dating this CWC, Western Flyer pre-war BB. Only the rear dropout helps narrow it down to 39-41.
