Model identification:
"Newly identified model. Compare with drawing 005-071 (HH.5.00385) 'Preliminary for 33' Runabout Launch, 33' O.A.' of May 31, 1916, which, when overlaid to this model, provides a perfect match. This suggests that either the model was not made as noted in 'about 1913' but in the spring of 1916, or that the drawing was made three years after the model had been made."
