Gemini wrote In 1925, Fageol Motors adopted a standardized three-digit model number system for its chassis and coaches that remained in use through 1928. The code structure followed a specific functional logic: The Three-Digit Code First Digit (Tonnage): Indicated the rated capacity of the chassis in tonnes. Second & Third Digits (Horsepower): Generally represented the engine's rated horsepower. Example: A model 360 chassis would be rated for 3 tons with approximately 60 horsepower. Using this rule, their coaches are normally 3.5 tonne(3), and about 60 hp, so the chassis is [360].
