, I have forgotten it. It should be:I think, we are witnesses when the idea of limiting movement of the bucket was born. There was an attempt to simply modify the mold to limit the movement of the bucket. Interestingly, the first 2c models also have no tipper stop. This means that the idea of the tipper stop was probably realized after the start of production 2c. Perhaps it was decided to make a small batch of 2b to test it. Perhaps there is an analogy with 75a, where the roof rack was also tested after termination of the production.kwakers wrote: Very interesting on that last unknown tipper stop Antonin. The full size Tippers of this style (I have seen only in pictures) seem to dump all the way as on your "A" Dump shown. Why the stop so late in this model's life?? Very Interesting, Thanks for all these extra details.....
