I didn't see anything about a blade count in the stock book example mentioned by Robin. Maybe I just don't know how to read it. I guess the workers just knew what barrel to use based on the grade? For example, if the order was grade 5 or 6, they knew to use a 6 blade barrel? If it was a grade 3, they could use a 3 or 4 blade barrel based on inventory?
Also I looked at all my barrels to see of the blade count was there as decribed by Dean. On the DD Grade 6s and the D Grade 2, there was no number stamped for blade count. Only my CH D4 had a "4" over the D.
I still don't understand the number of "alternees" by grade. Seems random.
