<VV> Today's coils - shroud hole

[Robert Marlow]

I agree with Dave Keillor's opinion that the hole you describe is to 
accommodate AIR pump plumbing on cars so equipped.  As for cars that 
have this hole without being AIR cars, I can only guess, and my guess 
that these cars were bumped in the back in the late 60s, and repaired 
with the available parts of the time.

Feel free to block the hole as Dave did.
