List, I travelled to Sacramento in order to find
out more about my poor old panel's second life.
After looking at about a thousand old photos at
CalTrans (California Department Of Transporttion) I have to say that my
earlier assertion that it belonged to them may be incorrect. Bureaus
within Bureaus, Authorities
and Boards. Some were CalTrans, some weren't. They ACTED as if they
were all the related...
  No smoking gun...
  My question, therefore, is this: A year or so
ago I told this list about a brass ID tag on my
truck with "TB 766" on it. Since I know that the
115th Quartermaster was at Camp San Luis Obispo after being Nationalized
in 1940, is it possible that "TB" stands for "Training Base"
and "766" stands for 7th California (160th Infantry), vehicle number 66?
  Camp San Luis Obispo was built by the State
of California as a Training Base for the National
Guard. That's its official designation. It was
built in 1928.
  Has anyone on this list ever run across another "TB"? Not a technical
bulletin. Wrong
# of digits.
