Aluminium frame was also suspicious to me. But I know C. Plath did use aluninium frame, though I am not sure in which years. (It seems to me that aluminium frames were introduced in 1930-s by Hezzanith. More precisely they were "Duralumin" frames, as the one on the SNO-T. Duralumin is a hard aluminium aloy used in aircraft industry). On Tue, 9 Nov 2004, Fred Hebard wrote: > The EBay listing cites an aluminum frame, which I'm not sure C.
