Re: List of DB 605A engine construction numbers?

Hi again Dénes,
The use of the forward-slash (/) in the engine Werk-Nr is rare in all the 650+ engine database. There are only two examples of a / in that database and, they are 007/01188 and another early but obviously very corrupted one with 12 figures, 311002A/205-4.
The 007/01188 seems to be a mistake as it falls within many other engines in that range eg 00700933 that have 8 digit numbers.
The only note I would make, is that in this case the 007 is the manufacturer id and the 00933 is the serial number. Possibly the worker accidently added the / in error to the 007/01188 which should have been simply 00701188.
The convention of marking is consistent, the manufacturer id runs directly before the serial number on the engine Werk-Nr, as struck on the Baumusterschild and the many stampings on the engine components.
Also, within the 650 engine data, 007/01188 is the only / after the first 3 digits.
So, sorry that this is not much use.

SM
