Number produced[edit]

The source (page 102) says that 10 were produced during World War II and "approximately 3300 in post-war years".

Standard mathematical convention on the rounding of numbers is that "approximately 3300" means between 3250 and 3349. If about 100 had been produced during World War II, then it would be reasonable to say that a total of about 3400 had been produced in total (100 + 3300). But since the number produced during World War II was much less than the margin of uncertainty, it is correct to say that about 3300 were produced in total - not about 3310.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
