Universal Carrier

[Lynn Eades]

I do believe it is the "/L/" on these plates, that kicked off the "Local" pattern title, rather than a local pattern carrier having the "/L/" added.
The "/L/" was on original British built machinery, long before that machinery was copied in the Colonies.
Tony's "land" is the best, so far. (my opinion)
As stated somewhere else on this forum lately, "Just because it comes from a book, doesnt make it the truth" (or something along those lines)
When it comes to Carriers, as in other areas, there is much in print, in books,that are supposed to be akin to "bibles", that contain a lot of B.S....and the www is a damn sight (pun intended) worse.
