Standard Products only used 10,000 of those housings from IBM in February 1944 time frame.

IBM used the type 4 trigger housing from the beginning of production in August 1944 till the last 25 made in May 1944. These last ones were from clean up of the plant and may or may not have gone to the military. They may have been presentations to employees. Production is considered to have ended in April 1944.
