Links
When a name or a word becomes hilighted when the mouse is over, it means that is linked to a document related. The linked documents belong to one of the following categories:
Designer Card
it contains identification data (including web site & e-mail as links, when available), a profile, the listing of the produced engines with significant data, a biography, plus spare photo and spare documents. This is always linked to the spreadsheet. A special care has been taken to clearly identify the source of information.
Engine Cards
they contain identification data for each engine, one or more pictures, comparison table (sometime) and reference to enclosures as follows:
Engine Tests
mainly from Aero Modeller, scanned, sometime when scanning is not suitable, documents are read with OCR and reassembled as a new document.
Articles from Literature
as mentioned before, to better understand the character of the designer articles other than on engines may be included
