They had some GP7's with the early, boxy Hyatt J1 journals, but these journals contained roller bearings: https://rr-fallenflags.org/mkt/mkt104arp.jpg Georgia & Florida did have some GP7's with plain bearings: http://rr-fallenflags.org/geofla/gf703ads.jpg http://rr-fallenflags.org/geofla/gf705ads.jpg |
