JW -
Thanks for your further insight - very helpful.
For the benefit of all, I decided to take a cue form BigKev's "Model Series Progresssion Chart", and come up with a graphic depiction of what we're talking about.
Not to belabour the point, but let's consider parts book coverage for years 1930-47. It's not as diced up as shop manuals, but a bit confusing - seven areas, not counting the 41-47 Clipper. Diagonal blue lines represent the overlap of Clipper models in 1941-42.
If we extend the treatment to Langworth's coverage, we only reduce the number of areas by one, but they seem to make a little more sense (to me).
Then, if we take your suggestions to make groupings for 35-37 and 38-42 Juniors, but split off 39-42 Super Eights, the number of groupings goes back up by one, but things are a little clearer - no?.
Yet, I've left the Light Eight dangling out there, as an open question to anyone who is interested: where can we fold this one into, under the modified Buyer's Guide scheme?
