"MODELS" The file "MODELS" is a file of people in UK in 1898 who were involved with the Society of Model Engineers or the magazine "The Model Engineer & Amateur Electrician". The names have been extracted from a bound volume which is a reprint of Volume 1 1898 of the "Model Engineer & Amateur Electrician" which commenced with Issue No 1 in January 1898 and was a monthly publication - price TWOPENCE !!! The facsimile edition was published in 1976 by Argus books limited. The Society of Model Engineers was founded during 1898 so the names of the first Officers and Committee are to be found in this listing. It is somewhat unfortunate that in 1898 correspondents to the magazine seemed keen on remaining almost anonymous and letters and articles were frequently attributed to someone such as E.J.C. of Southampton, or some other such cryptic signature. Not a great deal of additional information is available about the persons listed but readers who wish to have photo copies of any article that is attributed to one of these names is welcome to write to|:- Ted WILDY, 167 Carlisle Road, Browns Bay, Auckland 10 enclosing SAE and 50cents to cover photo-copying. This file has been compiled by members of the Genealogical Computing Group of the NZ Society of Genealogists. 3rd October 1988 NAME PAGE COMMENTS & REMARKS ADDRESS ---------------- ---- ---------------------------- ----------------------------- ALEXANDER J. 165 "Fitting up a Dynamo" ALLSOPPP F.C.
