Interesting. My parts lists don't appear to include M173. I did a search thru 
them and couldn't find the word radial anywhere. Was this booklet specifically 
for type 3s or was it more generic? It's also possible that my versions of the 
parts lists are missing entries; we have found other errors in those lists.
