So there must have been some confusion when a customer ordered a new water pump for his front mounted unit and received a side mounted pump or vice versa. Production in 1929 was at an all time high, they must have been so busy a few things slipped by. Enough on this matter?
I doubt it was just early water pumps. Too bad we don't have more of the early service letters from the era to see how they might have identified different running changes.
In later years Packard used many suffixes, assorted symbols, dabs of paint and various combinations of those markings to mark differences -- sometimes significant changes affecting how something was to be serviced. The poor service guy had to be a genius to remember to look for them -- let alone remember what they meant if he ran across one or what bulletin to refer to if he didn't.
