OK, I was going to hold off on this next question for a while so I didn't
look like i have some kind of british hardware fixation but you kinda
opened the door for it so...


I've noticed that on the Tiger and Alpine bolts you will often find a
marking "AUTO" and underneath some letters or numbers.  I've seen the
letter "T", "S" and "R" and the numbers "55".  What do these signify?
Tiger, Sunbeam, Rapier and the former federal speed limit or?


And Ron, thanks for the info...
