So had they changed by 1917? It says that not until 1926 does it show the 26" available in their catalog. So if it is a Trojan, when they began boring chokes to the customer's request is the question. I was just guessing that so close to the start of production (1912) a full and full 16 Trojan would probably not be seen in 1917. Of course his choke measurements could be off. And a 0 frame for a 16 Trojan, in 1917 would have been a rare one. Just an opinion.
