I had read a lot about the 201s but never read the reason the aluminum body changed the shape so much. Good to know!

And no I do not know why the U.S.A. has so many K Singers after the end of the forties. We took in a lot of war brides after WWII and they brought machines with them, but that should have almost stopped by 1950.
