[QUOTE="davidd, post: 115280, member: 1177"] I can only notice that smooth tubing was used in the original photos. I see herringbone in almost all of the 1953 and later photos and none in the photos up to 1951. It is possible that the factory used both as both seemed to be available. Assuming that herringbone lines were always available and then at some time became the preferred supplier to the parts department, I could see how herringbone became the "known" standard. However, if you look at early photos of Lightnings and Flashes, the oil lines are smooth. [ATTACH type="full"]31993[/ATTACH] The above Black Lightning was offered for the 1950 model year.
