Default "B" on the Engine Head?????

I recently purchased a 1930 A Cabriolet and the engine head has a "B" labeled into it. I was told that it sigifies a higher compression (police engine) head?

Cool!!! Thanks Gerard. I guess that means the compression is 5:1 instead of 4:1? every little bit helps!
