Yes, I had the '56 date wrong - I know that and was just thinking about a pre-29 when I wrote that (another conversation I was having at the same time), and had that date in my head. I see the SCSW was wrong about that flat latch info, which was a clue I was using. I now see the other I frames stayed "I" to about 60 or so, Old Fluff cleared that up.
