    I have some paperwork that explains where these numbers came from.
    Any guesses ?

    The numbers are the workshop blueprint numbers.
    The longer 169 vapouriser was being made well before the 606 so it has a lower number.
    Can only wonder how many other part numbers have derived the same way.

    In a column on the side of the 169 paper there is a heading "Lamps Packed", in it is the Stoic. It appears it was made.
