Hello Terry, I appreciate to no end the information you provided below, it helps me so much.
Frow's book says the Triumph A appeared in the spring of 1901. Do you have any idea the months when 29,000 to 30,000 would have been made? The last automatic has a hinge block and limit loop, 211558 is the highest serial number I have seen and for many years I have been trying to get an estimate of the month when the automatic last appeared so I can get an idea of the month in 1901 the automatic was replaced by the early B with the arm. The early B did not have a notch for the centering pin until around serial number 17,000 so I assume that 17,000 was Feb 1902. I have seen standards, homes, and triumphs with the carriage with the clips with the early B with no notch. Thanks, Steve > The machine is TOO late for an Automatic.
