RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Imperial 70 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Imperial Serial Number page and the Imperial 70 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
