From Waterford:
This system was used from January 1966 through 1969. It consisted of three components -
* Month Code: This one letter code corresponds to the month with A=January, B=Febuary and so on. Because I is not used, September=J and December=M.
* Year Code: This one digit code is the last digit of the year - 6 is 1966.
* Sequence Number: This two digit number represents the nth frame and/or fork scheduled during the month.
For example, H763 is the sixty-third frame or fork scheduled during August of 1967.
So I would infer that K743 means the 43rd frame from November of 1967 and sold as a 1968 model year bike. Have I got that correct?
