Progress. There are 4 widely spaced linked car numbers and chassis numbers documented in Wyatt within A3-.
Cross referencing any of these results in no obvious linear, ascending linkage as might be expected in later series like A8 and A9.
Which is pretty much what I'm finding from the register entries.
This would suggest that their organisation in the factory improved from 1926/7 to 1929, and that the chassis:car number was akin to chassis:body numbers later on, where they just picked a body from a pile of 20 or thirty and didn't worry about sequence.
Would be really interested in other views.
