I'm restoring one that's from a 1930 Model A.
Can anyone tell me which issues of the Model A News had articles on them???
I have the issues on the Disc but I see nothing when looking it up by name.
I've tried "Gordon", "Smith", "Air Compressor" and "Compressor".
Supposedly their was several articles done on them over the years but I've not been able to find anything.
I did join the Club so I have all the News Letters from the Club since 2010 when it started.

“The Smith Compressor Region Pumps Air Into the Model A Museum”: MAN/60/5/24-25 (2013)

Cool! Thanks!
Yes it looks like these have been ignored all these years except for people using the Engines to put back into Model A's and scrapping the rest.
