Reference: Illustrated Body Parts List - D.N.D. Special Pattern Bodies

[Harry Moon]

I a number of years ago got a copy of the "Body Parts List" From the late Alex Blair.
This version is dated October 1941 and with a handwritten notation of being "revised January 1942"
Who might have the most recent or most complete version? If copies were to be made we should look for an edition with the most information. I'm looking to fabricate from new steel a Budd GS C60L cargo box. Anybody have the body parts list for that?

Harry.

I have only ever seen this list equipped exactly as you describe. The initial publication came out in 1941, followed by a handful of additional bodies in 1942, but many sections (and always the same ones) are empty.

Many years ago, I wrote the Directorate of history in Ottawa asking if they had a complete listing in their files. They did not. It is almost like this publication was abandoned in 1942 for some unknown reason, but I have no idea what might have replaced it.

Harry: The cover of my copy says D.M.&S No.1 issued October, 1941 but the inside title page says Issued October 1941, Revised January 1942 and many of the individual pages (Group 5 and Group 12) are also marked January 1942.
