Comment:
"Model states to have been made for #307p Lynx. Reference to #368p Mary Ann was added because offset Booklet HH.4.50 indicates that both #307p Lynx and #368p Mary Ann were built from the same model. Reference to #373p Adolar was added because #368p Mary Ann and #373p Adolar have the exact same dimensions. Reference to #371p Gypsie was added because a note by NGH in Experiments Booklet '1911 Trial Trips and Experiments' under date of June 24 & 25, 1919 shows #371p Gypsie to have been built on molds of #307p Lynx for which Model 409 had been made in the first place."
