... but Baldwin would very likely have kept the patterns for the K-36 frames, so it was probably
cheaper and faster to order another ten pair of rough castings from Baldwin than to make new
patterns and have relatively large castings made in Denver. Once they had the frame castings,
Burham could machine them and then do everything else necessary to build the K-37's.

I'm just guessing, of course.
