So, I went through my collection last night, looking at V cloth and what I noted was:
-Mike Katz duplicated the 37-116 cloth
-Seems that version of the V cloth is different from what they used in other 1934-38 sets.
-Philco changed the pattern to accommodate the grille openings and allow the use of one cloth vs having to splice in three separate pieces to get the V centered.
-The reproduction cloth he produced 30 years ago is ALSO a duplication of the 37-116 cloth...never noticed this until now.
