Default Years for Pan, Shovel, and Knuckle?

OK, I am new to the old school game. Can you guys give me the rundown on all the years of engine design? Thank you!

1936, Harley-Davidson's "Knucklehead" was the company's first production overhead-valve engine; it's the great-grandfather of today's Evolution engine.
Panhead engine is introduced for 1948
In the mid 1960s, Harley Davidson motorcycles
used the Panhead engine, so called because of the shape of the rocker covers.

1936-1947 Knucklehead
1948-1965 Panhead
1966-1984 Shovelhead (few made in 85)
This is the classic section so as far as I'm concerned Harley quit making motorcycles in 1984.
