The way your going Unkie youll have the whole range done in a week!!! Wonderful research and images again Unkie! Ahh finally confirmation of the straight bar on the spanner!. The issue of the straight bar was confined to the Automatic,But since the model 3 came right after it,It seems higly probable that it was actually released on the Auto. Well spotted! Seemingly another Myth Dispelled?.
Did you also note the use of the 2a pulley on the model 3 Unkie.
This is accurate to the early release of the model 3,Again As with previous models to use up left over parts. The model 2a run was one of the shortest of the Victas,so the pulleys were used up quickly,and are rarely seen on the Model 3 STD. Great image!
Since your delving in Rotomo,Check your archives some more when you have time Unkie,You should find some Ads on The Model 1 also.
The Model 1 Rotomo Is shown in many ads,one of the earliest being in the "Canberra times" for Sept 1955. This ad has been reproduced many times,also in colour. If im not mistaken, it was the first ever Rotomo Ad. Im sure you will love to add this to your timeline.
