Re: [T3] Today's work

<x-flowed>On these early motors that tab or return spring arm is a seperate piece all 
together. Its held on by the nuts holding on the cooler to the base. In 
Russes pic of a later version of the tin, this same arm is different and 
welded to the tin itself. Just a clarification pointer.

As far as the shape changing. The eraly tin is smooth, you can see it still 
in the same photo over the top of the T1 cooler. Look at this new photo of 
Jacks early 63. It is exactly the same tin only it is stamped in for the 
new( common today ) cooler shape. As you can see as well the return spring 
arm is welded to the top of the tin like Russes pic.
