Doug,

I've been told( If I told you who told me then I'd have to kill myself..sorry) ....it's my understanding..... that the B16/B3/B14 were originally B.8 motors( with extra increments of pressed BP) that had their original nozzle pressed/formed. Then in a single step process the clay nozzle core and upper smaller core were drilled out using whats called a half round drill bit

The B.8 motor was a direct decendent of the A.8 motor which was a direct descendent of the Carlisale A4 motor.

If anybody remembers, the orignal C.8 motors were not anywhere near later C6 motors.... they were in the neighborhood of maybe 6-7 Ns. I suppose its possible that the "extra increment BP" B.8 and C,8 were one and the same or very close.
