OK, readers . . . experts and amateurs alike. Here's a multi-part puzzle for all of us:- What do we estimate total production of the "Siffert" Autavias would have been? Have a look HERE and make your estimate of total production, from the "Mark 1" [Chronomatic] though the "Mark 6" [last version of the Siffert.
- Over the timeframe of the Siffert production, what is the ratio of production between the Sifferts and the black-dialed Autavias (1163MH)? Remember that we can start the equation with around 5,000 of the black-dialed Viceroys, so the Sifferts will be some (relatively small) fraction of that the total number of black-dialed Autavias.
- Also keep in mind that production of the black-dialed Autavias (1163, 11630 and 11063) went well beyond the timeframe of the Sifferts. So if you counted all the black-dialed ones and compared that to the number of Sifferts, where do you think we end up? In these questions, let's stick to the true Sifferts, rather than other silver, white or gray dialed Autavias.
I do not know the answer to any of these questions, but am seeking input from the community. I realize that I have not formulated these questions with great precision . . . I am only seeking approximate numbers, and you can feel free to make whatever assumptions or changes to the questions, as you may find appropriate.
Don't you just love "crowd sourcing" information!!
