I'd like to know if you come up with anything, but from what I know, there really is no rime or reason for the letters.
They *kinda* go in order. The A was one of the first, then came the B, then there was the C. The CA was a modified C. The IB was the Industrial verson on the B. The BO (or is it OB?) was the rare Orchard version of the B.
The D series was later, the numbers got bigger as they got bigger/newer.
The W series started with the WC, which later became the WD, then again into the WD45. WF was the wide front version of the WC. Why it was the W series I don't know.
The U came about bacause it came from the United company which AC bought.
If you read through the AC books, they expalin some of the "prototypes" and there model letters that never made it into production. This might explain some of the gaps in letters, etc...?
Then you got odd balls like the RC, and the G. The G might have a reason, seems to me I read something, but I can't recall it now.
That is the most help I can be.....
