Austin Seven workshop manual.

Post by 36inter »

First of all many thanks to those who have taken this site on, it's just the best by far on the web, thank you.

Right, Austin Seven parts manual. On the back of the last page are these numbers which I'm hoping someone can decipher for me :D

29/59 (27602) - I/60/3m

Thanks.

Having just checked several different eras of 'Mini Owner Handbooks' that I have, they all seem to have a similar pattern of number codes on the back pages. The 1/60 part in your Workshop manual seems to directly tie up as the month/year of printing in my BMC/BL Handbooks. Some of the other numbers sound about right for a print run number. However the number which seems about right for a print run does not always seem to be in brackets and numbers like 3m, etc seem far too high for a print run number if m was to represent a million? Also bearing in mind frequent changes and updates I am sure manuals and handbooks would usually be printed in batches of a few thousand at a time.
