carb rebuilder? Blatter

[johnbuckley]

Found this stamping on the flange of a friend's carb . Can any one shed any light on (presumably) Mr (or Mrs) Blatter?

Maybe: B. Latter?

Or B L Atter. He/she rebuilt the carburetor in November 1998. Maybe Betty Lu Atter.

This must be a carb rebuilt by Al Blatter, who worked in fuel controls for Bendix Corp, knew former Zenith personnel, and wrote articles about Model A and B carburetors back in the 1980's. He may not longer be among us.

What a depth of knowledge on this forum. Thanks for that Ursus.

Are these just guesses thrown out there or are these real, known persons?

Just atmospheric humor. But maybe there is none on the moon. Har har.

Just a guess

Like Master Cylinder , I'm now unsure if the replies above are jokes or serious responses I have assumed that #5 was a serious response and that posts 2,3 , and 7 were jokes, but perhaps I am mistaken ? .... please could someone clarify .

I don't find it humorous when a person asks a question and gets your attempts at humor...

I did a google search on Al Blatter, very interesting person. Thanks ursus.

Post #2, was not a joke, it was a speculation.

I knew Al and visited him decades ago as he rebuilt a couple of my Zenith carburetors. He was a very interesting person to talk with. I never just dropped a carb off and left.
