Gruen Authority

It's Wadsworth nomenclature, a reference to their internal grades. These names changed over time, and I suspect the lacking ones are transitional. I also think it is a clue to which case number line they are in, before all switched into the 5MM. At some point in the late 20's these letters may have disappeared.

I've seen...
A = the old "Amer" / "American Made" line
R = reinforced
E = extra gold (replaces R, I think)
P = permanent (I think phased out in the early 1920s)
