If you've ever noticed a Model 20 Baby Grand, you will see that the veneer on the top/sides runs vertically, with the arch.

The early 70 and 90 cathedral cabinets also have the top/side veneer applied in the same direction. During production of the 70 and 90, Philco switched to applying the veneer so the grain runs horizontally (front to back) instead.

When did the switch occur? Why did they switch the pattern? How should I know? As far as I know, there are no records of this issue.
