Hi Dave,
Welcome back. To determine the "CT" numbers for Ram Command and OP tanks with shop numbers between 1 and 24 add 202112 and for shop numbers between 25 and 84 add 205097 (from RamTank.ca)
As to the files, etc.. cited in the 'Design Record', none of these has been located although many of the photographs have now found their way (through a number of circuitous routes) to the CWM. As I understand it, the Department of Munitions and Supply stored all of their records at war's end but these were soon moved/lost/destroyed and few files ever made it to the Library & Archives Canada (LAC). There is a rumour that LAC has a large number of DMS files which have yet to be accessioned but they have no archivist to undertake this task.
I hope to publish a 'big' book on the Ram in the next couple of years. This is currently being researched through LAC by our very own Roger Lucy. He has allready uncovered a number of interesting files which will shed new light on the subject.
