Re: VTLA
Thanks for this informative post. I presume that post-Pooley fretwork VTLA production was already in full-swing at Victor prior to this April, 1907 patent date, but I may be incorrect. Any thoughts on this? I am curious as I have a VTLA in the 44xx serial range (which would seem to be from 1907).
Thanks,
John
