I also have his pao chui book and it does not resemble anything I have every seen in Chen's taijiquan.
if i remember correctly (from looking at it years and years ago)
the pao chui is the yang two man set...

I thought Erle referred to the 2 man set as San Shou.
Did he also have a separate (solo) Pao Chui form?

The first TCC form I learnt was the same form Earl taught, but from a different source in London
I was also told that CPL had a student / disciple who had taught in Japan and his name was very similar sounding to the given name of Earls teacher/ given by Earl. Earl could have conceivably given this teacher the background he thought would be most beneficial and changed the name slightly..

Erle claimed that the name of his teacher was Chang Yiu-chun.
Wang Shu-chin is said to have learnt his tai chi from Chen Pan-ling. As such, Wang's tai chi is almost identical to that of Chen Pan-ling with perhaps a few minor changes.
Of course, Wang Shu-chin spent a lot of time teaching in Japan.
Many considered Wang's best student to be Zhang Yi Cheng. I would guess that the Wade-Giles version of the name would be something like Chang I-Cheng.
As Wang's best student it is quite likely that Zhang Yi Cheng accompanied Wang on many of his visits to Japan.
Zhang later moved to live in Los Angeles. See the Pa Kua Chang Journal, Vol 5, No 6.
Erle called this form "small san sau" and believed it came down from Yang Sau Chung. The "two man" form he named "large san sau" when trained with a partner but named it "Pau Chui" when practiced solo.This is what I learnt as the San Sau set
