Not so recent. A couple of Dux things from Russia of the first years of XX century. Can't remember the source.

MG took the pictures from this thread, as well as a thread Arthur Dent stated at another site, and credits both.

Your description is more than adequate. When fiberglass was first being used commercially, a wooden core was frequently used to add strength. It was only later when molding techniques had been perfected that the plywood could be dispensed with.

I don't believe I have ever been referred to as "they". It is faintly disturbing, like finding out you have just been added to the "no fly" list".

I often rail against "they" and "them" and "those people". Not sure that's a club I want to belong to..... $:-\$

I meant no offense, I assure you, the 'they' was more descriptive as the website as a whole as I didn't make the connection as to who posted it and didn't notice the links in the article. I happened across the slideshow by chance, and 2 websites later found this thread with all the images I'd just seen in it.

No offense taken!

I gave up taking offense for Lent two years ago and just never went back to it. Its a pretty useless thing, offense. All it ever does is cause trouble!

It does not! And I take offense at your saying so!
