Model D Update


Managed to find some time this Morning to carry on working with the estimates on Production numbers.

One interesting thing, that seems to be emerging from the Numbers, is just how slow
production seems to have been in the lead up to WWII.

As mentioned earlier, the Model 40's seem not to have ramped up production significantly until 1942.

Having looked at the Model D's, the Story is very similar.

Production Doubled from around 2000 Units (185 Units/Month) in 1941 to
over 4000 Units (365 Units/Month) in 1942.

Numbers remained fairly constant (but rising gradually) until the peak in 1945
with around 4800 Units made. (385 Units/Month).
Production coming to an almost grinding Halt after the War, with very few
made after 1945

The Model D, unlike the 47A and 48A, was definately still built after the War, but in very small Numbers.
