Prior to the advent of the
Internet, receiving information on foreign modeling activity was pretty much limited
to what the U.S. publications like
American Modeler and
Model Airplane News decided
to print. Even that was limited to things like flying events and not to specific
products. Before a few years ago, I had never heard of PEP engines, a product of
Electronic Development, Ltd., of Surrey, England. This full-page advertisement from
a 1960 issue of Aero Modeller magazine promotes PEP's line of diesel engines.
Along with the English spelling of words like "aluminium," it mentions a type of
metal called "Mehanite" and another called "Hiduminium." Another advantage of the
Internet is the ability to look up unfamiliar terms like that which would never
be found in the Webster's Dictionary on my bookshelf. Mehanite (aka
Meehanite) is form of cast iron, and
Hiduminium (Hi-duty aluminium) is an of aluminium developed
by Rolls Royce during World War II. Now you know.
