Engine Repair Tag question?

Pratt-Whitney/Engine folks:

Does anyone has a sample of an “Engine Repair Tag” used by Lockheed, Vultee, N. American etc. c. 1937 or earlier? It used to be round and was usually located at the back of the engine.

Also, can someone provide a back view of the old P/W Wasp Engines pre- 1937? Tks/ Engine Buff/FAH619

P/W S3HI back view

TXTomcat:

Tks for posting that nice shot!

If this is your engine, do you have close-ups of the P/W Engine ID plate in the back? Are you still able to read what each line says? Engine Buff/FAH619

BTW – ignore the engine mount its from a Norseman

Oh and this is a civil spec S3H1 as used on the Electra, not an AN1 used by the military…

This wouldn’t be associated in some way with a certain long-missing female aviation personality would it? 🙂
