I'm looking for information about the early dial blanks used by WE, their model numbers, and any pictures anyone can provide. I've looked in some of the early catalogs but haven't been successful.
Thanks.

Those are what I'm talking about, but WE only.
I have several and I'm trying to find out starting with the first WE dial desk stands through the 20s and 30s, what their model numbers are and any pictures or diagrams from catalogs that might be available.
Thanks,
Ken

Try searching the forum and TCI Library for "apparatus blank."

Another source is:

Some apparatus blank codes are included in the tables, with BSP references that may have more details.

For example, the A-mounting takes a 50D blank.

Thanks for the information Paul.
I was able to verify the blank model numbers I have.

Yes sir, I only had them all in one photo and didn't take the time to Photoshop the Leich out.
