Interesting info, I had no idea of an engraved set having 2 springs. Is the
Wheel goods catalog on line? I cannot pull the pictures up. Also where do
the non stickered red lettered silk screened 999 weinmanns fit into this, I
have found them on 1950-60's Allegros.
Thanks

would be an engraved version with 2 springs. It is pictured in the 2nd

used only 1 spring. After '64, Weinmann stopped engraving their name on the
arms and used "Weinman 999" stickers.

So, a Paramount might have older components than its model year.
