'SM', 'S.M.' or 'S/M' and what it means!

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I never cease to be amazed at a) how I forget about previous threads and b) how some 'ferrets' seem to be able to find them and drag them up! Thanks for that one, Sir!

The answer lies in the case of Fords in the 1942 Dagenham Ford civvy and military guide booklet which had details of models (and drawings) plus details in some cases of both Demands and Contracts. I just wish I had a GM Ltd version!
