Note from a collector. "These machines were often sent to observatories for cleaning and service and were separated from their boxes...and spent as much as six months in servicing...getting them back into the right numbered boxes was not of major importance...Hamilton patterned their model 21 after this machine with improvements to the balance."
From the home of a South Shore, Massachusetts gentleman who was a captain in the
US Navy during WWII.
See note on differentiation of boxes.
