My current figures put this around 1968, but because the Multiminor doesn't
normally have Data information, and so many of them were made, the date
of the No 1,000,000 is some what skewed.
Having gone through the Figures in depth, the one thing I didn't really
appreciate before now, is just how many Avo Minors and Multiminors seem
to have been made.
If the Figures can be trusted at Face Value, it looks like around
95,000 DC Avominors
180,000 Universal/Model 1 Avominors
280,000 Multiminors
Were made between 1933 and 1970.
During the period 1934 to 1945, the Avominors were built at almost
double the Rate of all the Full Sized Meters put together.
