1923 sports rear axle

[Ian Williams]

Okay so I have two early axes, November 1923 and February 1924, neither has a number like Tony's both of mine are 9/44 ratio the early one is numbered in the 900's the later one on the 200's, the number placement is the same as Tonys though. If they numbered the early axles from the beginning of the year starting at 0 or possibly 100 that would make about a thousand produced for 1923. I believe it was nearer 2000 cars in 1923 so I don't know what the serial numbers actually tell us, possibly a car number, although that would not explain Tonys S prefix, has anyone a suggestion. Thinking as I type here; the very early sports were built on a chummy floor pan, perhaps the floor pans were all numbered in sequence and the S prefix added to those destined for a sports skin rather than chummy skin.

Thinking about it that last theory of mine is a fail, Tonys 1923 number is in the 1000's and mine in Nov 1923 is actually 999.
