[QUOTE="John Reynolds, post: 112494, member: 4136"] Thank you Mark for the excellent photograph of the prototype A Rap. I had seen the photo before (on page 77 in the Back to A book) but a scan of the photo in the book would be of insufficient quality to scale up. The image document which you posted is of high quality and I have been able blow up the tank panel to full size - please see attachment. This shows that when the first bike was produced the tank panels were considerably smaller (at 3 inches in height and 6 inches in length including gold lines) than the later panels (at 3 1/2 inches and 7 inches respectively), which I had previously scaled. Of course, these may or may not be original whereas we know that the tank panel shown in the works photo is original. So again, I'm faced with a quandary! [/QUOTE]
