Yes, that was the very rare West Point Horn. Only a few examples exist. The one I had came with a very late Fireside B which included the documentation shown in the Frow-Sefl book on page 155. Best Wishes to All, Al

As well, any company revisions to the content of the form would have resulted in a new or revised plate being prepared as well, ostensibly with a new date, so we have a couple of possibilities for form date changes. My guess is that the first printing of form 632 carried no date, and subsequently one appeared that carried the 11/20/12 date, followed by one that carried the 8-20-14 date. If anyone has a form 632 with a different date, it would be very interesting to note, along with the serial number of the machine. For that matter, it could be informative to compare forms with serial numbers and A-series model numbers in general.
