Still interested to hear from Norm on what evidence led him to state in his b=
ook that the Mk1 Tiger clock was 3030/00.
Also, I thought I saw in the replies to your first email, somebody posted a p=
hoto of a 3131/00 clock AND a 3131/01. The 00 model had the 3&9 horizontal, w=
hile on the 01 model they were vertical. It was my understanding this featur=
e everybody agreed upon in distinguishing Mk1 from Mk1a/Mk2 clocks.
Really looking forward to reading about what you finally determine.
