Thanks to you both. That clarifies which single triggers were offered on which lines of guns.
Also, with those patent dates (even though Howland remembers them both as being 1931) we may have a glimpse into the question of whether the non-selective trigger came from the earlier Howland “selecting” trigger. I’ve wondered what he meant by a “model” of the NID “selection” trigger. This patent information would seem to point to the non-selective trigger flowing from the selective. If that is true then his choice of the word “model” would indicate a variation or a non-selective version of the “selection” trigger.
Hopefully someone will be along who has been inside both or can understand the details of the patents and tell us.
