I have a question that doesn't pertain exactly to the Wayne 70 but it is in the family;
"Wasn't it quite a coincidence that when Wayne purchased Martin & Swartz, M&S was making the model 80 which Wayne continued on manufacturing. The M&S model number 80 fell right into Wayne's numbering system."
Am I the only one that find's sometime the truth is more fantastic than fiction?

Actually, prior to the purchase of the M&S Company, Wayne had a model 80 on the drawing board. I have a picture of it, it never made production. Actually it was a tall pump and they were going out, and with the purchase of M&S and their current Model 80, it was a natural to drop the Wayne 80 and continue making the M&S 80. I'm saving the picture until we cover the M&S/Wayne 80 in the POM.
