Been a lot of years and wish I could remember more of the specifics or where and when the article appeared. The G was not really explained as to what prompted the earlier addition just that G was general use common hardware related items not specific to a car or model.

On the parts renumbering, Studebaker was already using numbers starting with 0 and 1 but in a slightly different format with dashes separating some of the numbers. The decision was Stude would keep using up thru 5 and Packard would start 6 onward. I don't know or remember if it said if there is or was any kind of differentiation planned for the numbers after the 6.
