[Boris Cefer]

There were two couples of experimental B-3 trucks built in 1940 and modified 
several times.

OK, that makes sense because BOTH 1613 and 1614 were converted before the
ten B-3s from SLCC arrived.

Are you saying that there were two other sets of B-3s that preceded the
ten-set order?  From where did they come?  I had been under the impression
that the trucks used under 1613 (and presumably 1614 as well) were modified
B-2s, but I have no facts to support this supposition.  Any more information
you might have on those would be appreciated.
