Re: [FWDLK] POINTS TO PONDER

Admittedly, I do not know the definitive answer, on the question of what 
"WCFB" stands for, but, if I might
interject some logic into this discussion :  If  William Carter used his 
initials to brand-identify  his early-50's white-cast
-metal carburetors, it stands to reason that when his company created 
the aluminum-bodied improved-versions
of them that he would have chosen WCAFB or WCAC  as being their (new) 
brand-identification.

It is not logical that Mr. Carter would not have been sufficiently proud 
of his new creation so as not to continue
to use his eponymous (self-named) brand identity on his new 
carbs.------that's a lot of 'negatives', but, IMHO,
I don't see why he wouldn't have "continued" to use his "WC" initials on 
his mo-better aluminum bodied carbs,
IF  he had used his initials on his  earlier white-cast-metal carbs.
