What was the reason for the unusual model names (2-0-2, 3-0-3 & 4-0-04)?

THE CHILEAN NATIONAL AIRLINE (LĖNEA AČREA NACIONAL-LAN) FLEW THE MARTIN 2-0-2 BETWEEN 1947 AND 1959. DESPITE THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS AIRCRAFT, LAN USED THEM MOST SUCCESSFULLY IN THEIR ROUTES (INCLUDING OVER THE ANDES TO BUENOS AIRES AND MONTEVIDEO). I FLEW A LAN 2-0-2 IN 1953 AND I LOVED IT! ... INDEED, A BEAUTIFUL PLANE!

I just read the comments. I remember that, when the 202 ceased production in the US, they were still flying them in South America. Anyone got any info on this fact?

As a child my father Robert W. Devlin worked for Glenn L. Martin Co. I believe he was one of the engineers and test pilots of the Martin 202. If anyone remembers him or their father knowing him, I would appreciate a shout out e-mail. Thanks.

A beaut of an aircraft. I wish the 202 and the DC3 were still the flagships of the fleet, well maybe the connie.
