Yes, despite how bulky they are, it's hard to believe that they wouldn't have been kept for a while by at least some dealers/mechanics for training new employees, if they were as useful as they sound like. Then as a curiosity past that.

Unlike some hobbies, many "Packard people" seem to have little interest in using the internet, and even if so, often have little desire to brag about their collections, so unless you happen to talk to the right person at some meet, there's no doubt that stuff may easily get "lost" for years or decades as Howard gave an example of.

For example, I am continually surprised by the number of V-8 cars that I find for sale NOT in the Packard rosters. Of course, the reason is somewhat the opposite of the above as most of these cars are in poor condition. Still though, a reminder that not everything is on the internet even though it can often appear to be so.

Re-creating one of these would be REALLY cool; pretty much would be a big circuit of solenoids and reed switches. Don't tempt me...
