Inverto Deluxe 18R Build Sheet
Kendrick and Davis 1 page ca. 1983-1985 User "artin" on the NAWCC forums posted a useful picture back in June 2012 that sheds some light on the accessories included in the Inverto Deluxe 18R quite close to the time K&D ceased making watchmakers tools (ca. 1991-1993). The picture is of a build sheet or manufacturing traveller that was used to assemble an Inverto Deluxe 18R set sometime after Jan. 1983. The form is dated "1/83" in the lower right corner but the frame number of the tool is "5-78-84", which may indicate that the frame was manufactured in 1984. The "unit number" is 058513. Maybe this means the 13th unit assemble in May 1985. The original picture artin posted (see the image at left, bottom) is a little hard to read, so I recreated it in Adobe Illustrator (see the image at left, top). A full resolution pdf file of the recreated sheet is available for download at right. Note that the inclusion of stump No. 80 on this list may be an incorrect interpretation of the blurry image. It makes more sense for stump No. 90 to be included based on the relative usefulness of the two stumps. No. 90 would also fit better into the sequence of numbers on the list. That this is likely a typo is confirmed by the 1978 build sheet. There the entry is much easier to read and is clearly a "90". |
