Hello Mike, You're correct in having seen the image you have hanging on your wall in a TSO. From a TA 'Anniversary' edition. But the image you have is not exactly the "same drawing" as posted by Peter Cole. They're so close though that it is very easy to think they're the same! The blueprint is a TA. And looking closely at the image you attached you will see that the seat dimensions are different. Also a difference in how the springs are attached to the chassis. Sliding trunnions vs shackles. One interesting thing on the TC drawing is the use of a TA shift knob! Hmmm. Do you think Cowley might have laid a sheet of tracing paper over the TA drawing when making up a new TC drawing? Here's an attachment to help see the differences between Peter's PDF and the 'blueprint'. (sent earlier today to Jeff Townsend looking for similar TB drawings -except for that shift knob (and without engine) it looks like a TB to me ) Hope it is of interest to some. Cheers all, Bill - in a hot and humid Nashville
