Perhaps you would like to explain to me what the War Production Board  
action with respect to an order of cars delivered in 1944 had to do  
with the 1700s five years later, particularly after an intervening  
order of 100 cars?  I'm looking at the word "thus" in your note.

The 1600s were actually comprised of one car as an all-electric and  
99 air-cars, so, Phil, you cannot in sincerity claim that is 100  
identical cars either.
