Hi Ron, It probably was not your imagination. I have seen quite a few uprights, from the early part of this century, that had A435, stamped or cast in the plate. So this was obviously the pitch they were designed for. Wasn't it around 1928 that A440 became Standard? Regards, John M. Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada.
