	Original 4100 scrapped 1940.09.26; 4107 was renumbered to 4100
before conversion to M452.

	Quickly glancing at my notes reveals that 4140 was originally
converted to M458 but was subsequently converted to M197 in 1955
when the original M197 aka 4131 was scrapped at Homewood
1955.07.26  --  possibly Homewood fire victim?    Looks like the
M197-2 lasted until 1972.

	4145 was M459 Snow Scraper until sold to Magee - originally
converted in Nov--1940.
