You guys are both so informative, I sometimes forget who I'm writing to.  

To sum up...Thanks Bob!

Still hoping for that photo Mac!

WOW!  :o

Bob you have to tell us how you came across that little tid bit of information!  I have had your book sitting in my Walck's cart for two months........patiently waiting until I add some more parts to order.  I may have to bite the shipping bullet and just order the book alone!

That feature can be seen in period photographs of the pilot models. There is an article in the MVPA magazine Army Motors issue #126 with many great photographs. Pilot model #5 has survived and is owned by a collector. A friend and I took a 2000+ mile road trip to see MC 10005 for a couple hours. MC 10005 still has the original un-punched windshield frame.

I did read Bob's M38/Pilot article on the Siblings page.  Very informative.  Photo's are old and grainy, but I think I can make out a couple none cut vents.
