I have to agree with viggo on this one! I do not believe they used the lug for either frame location on a fixture, or as a machine fixture support....the reason for this is simple, it took to much time! Any fixture used to hold the frame would have blocks or pins that indexed on the same side(s) or surface(s) every time, in all machine operations!!....You simply place and clamp, no muss no fuss! They would never use the lug, as difficulty in attaching, and variance in the lug machining would make it a problem solvers nightmare to use effectivly....nope, they clamped it and cut it! till...later....G.T. P.S. I could see potential for it to be utilized for some small finishing hand operations!!!
