Audie Taquino has this Lockwood Ash twin and it has what looks like open tube fittings where the crankcase threaded inspection plugs usually go !
Any ideas ??

JB did you tell me Lockwood Ash used a rotary mill to surface the crankcase and Nadler used a planer. This is one way to tell one from the other. |

Nadler finished their flat surfaces in a lathe, lines radiate from the center out. L-A used a rotary broach, long curved lines, eyebrow looking, across the face. |

Thanks JB. Will add it to my file on Nadler/Lockwood Ash. |
