Canadian 19-Set Working Instructions

[David Dunlop]

I was pretty sure Canada never got into production of the Mk I, but we must have had some Mk I's in service, imported from England, for a while since Bruce MacMillan's early two part manual is a combined edition for the Mk I and Mk II. If, by the time your Working Instructions Manual was published, it makes no reference to the Mk I, Canada must have dumped whatever stocks of Mk I's it had on hand very quickly, in order to upgrade to the Mk II then being produced here. Does your Mk II manual give any reference at all to the Mk I, or was it completely ignored?

I cannot recall ever seeing a photo of the Mk I but I think I have a manual tucked away somewhere for a 19-Set that has a line drawing of the front of one in it. Must be a bit of a rare bird these days.

Cheers, BP!
