The following originates from a list produced by Chris Bromley, incorporating lists produced by Mike Rolls in the UK and the Garden State Circle Burners in the US, expanded and added to by myself. Many models appeared under similar, or different, names and the same name was used for quite different models. For this reason it was decided to give separate entries to all known references to each model name. Thus, many machines have several entries. Intending builders of any of these models are encouraged to do their own research and to share the results with us.
A hash sign (#) after the date means that this compiler has personal experience of the model, or design, and will share this with interested parties.
