    Aluminium frame was also suspicious to me.
    But I know C. Plath did use aluninium frame,
    though I am not sure in which years.
    (It seems to me that aluminium frames were
    introduced in 1930-s by Hezzanith. More
    precisely they were "Duralumin" frames,
    as the one on the SNO-T. Duralumin is a hard
    aluminium aloy used in aircraft industry).
