Earlier Manifoil than Mark IV? And other questions.

Huntlocks, if you have the time, it would be interesting to have a photograph of the blueprints. Thanks for offering!

Another question, does anybody have any sales literature for the Manifoil? While it would not have dimensions it might have specifications and lists of features that could explain what's what on the inside.

This was the replacement lock they used to use but have gone onto to a couple of options now

Sorry on this one, that lock is not antique or even vintage and still theoretically restricted, but have been asked not to display on a free access unrestricted forum pending clarification. Hopefully I will get the clarification when I will reinstate it.

Yes info on anything other than a MKIV is restricted

The MKV (illustrated earlier in this thread) is the line up to which we can talk about, although take the normal safety precautions when handling this one due to the extra 'heavy metal'!

Brian you notice that what I wrote didn't describe or name any of the other options and always very careful about supplying any description or details on a forum

Been working through a box of old Manifoils and the Milners MERLIN and comparing the locks and trying to piece together the evolution of them.
The MERLIN looks to share the base of the MANIFOILS and it is quite interesting to look at the changes in the different locks.

Is there list of changes available??
Is there a Mk-1 and what does it look like??
Is there a list of models as I seem to have found changes, upgrades that are outside the Mk2 - Mk2A - Mk3 Mk-4 numbering.

I am up to 80 odd pages in comparisons with pictures and notes at this point.

Hopefully this isn't controversial - as I am only doing up to MkIV at this stage.
