Swiss track pins
The so-called Swiss track pins are too short to use in normal track pads. I suspect the Swiss modified the normal track pads by trimming them narrower (why would they do that? No idea.) and producing appropriately shorter pins. These short pins were abundant in USA and very likely came from Southeastern Equipment in Augusta Georgia who sold many ex-Swiss T16s in the 1970’s to early 1980’s. We need someone to inspect their ex-Swiss T16 and see if the track pads are modified Original T16 and Canadian Carriers use the same length of track pin.
