In the seriel Number:

1st part of serial number
a = 2.73
b = 3.42
c = 3.15
g = 3.42 (Z06 shot peened unit)

2nd place in seriel number:
month built

3rd place = year built

Also,
On top of a 2.73 casing there will be the letter 'A' about 1 inch tall
On top of the other casings there will be a letter 'B' about 1 inch tall

Turn the input shaft just shy of 3.5 turns, the output should turn exactly once.
