3624 is an early one. As per Edison there is no definate cut off regarding the ones without the gear cover. The new model A appeared around 30,000 and yet I know of a suitcase around 42,000 and a bed plate around 44,000 with the raised lug. The armed C was made into 1907 for two reasons, Edison never wasted and to upgrade the carriage with the two clips an arm was needed. The serial number of the C will let you know when it was upgraded. Steve
