    3. Capitalization Rules (See also Chapter 4 “Capitalization Examples” and Chapter 9 “Abbreviations and Letter Symbols”) 3.1. It is impossible to give rules that will cover every conceivable prob- lem in capitalization, but, by considering the purpose to be served and the underlying principles, it is possible to attain a considerable degree of uniformity. Th e list of approved forms given in Chapter 4 will serve as a guide. Obviously such a list cannot be complete. Th e correct usage with respect to any term not included can be deter- mined by analogy or by application of the rules. Proper names 3.2. Proper names are capitalized. Rome John Macadam Italy Brussels Macadam family Anglo-Saxon Derivatives of proper names 3.3. Derivatives of proper names used with a proper meaning are capitalized. Roman (of Rome) Johannean Italian 3.4. Derivatives of proper names used with acquired independent com- mon meaning, or no longer identifi ed with such names, are set lowercased. Since this depends upon general and long-continued usage, a more defi nite and all-inclusive rule cannot be formulated in advance. roman (type) macadam (crushed rock) italicize brussels sprouts watt (electric unit) anglicize venetian blinds plaster of paris pasteurize Common nouns and adjectives in proper names 3.5.

  • Kasiner Cars (All Seen Above ) in Service on an O Scale 2 Rail Model Railroad in New Hampshire, 2018
    By Edward F. Bommer Kasiner Model Hobbies was founded by Norm Kasiner and Bill Kachler in Rochester, New York in 1947. Smooth side, full length, streamlined O scale car kits made with extruded aluminum bodies having end and center skirting were initially produced. For prototype accuracy with some models, the center skirt is removed by cutting it off. They were soon followed by extruded aluminum bodies with Pullman-design fluted siding. The fluted side bodies did not have skirting, but aluminum castings with end skirts and a coupler mounting were included in those kits. The Astradome kit included extruded aluminum side sill skirts. These also may have been available as extra parts for full length, fluted side cars. Kits were packaged with Masonite floors, wire for hand rails, roof and some under body detail parts, as well as sheet aluminum ends. Black, sponge rubber full-width diaphragms were included. The Pullman-Standard fluting was a popular feature. These cars were easier to finish than the smooth side cars, often having multi- color, striped liveries. Streamline four-wheel trucks included with full length kits initially had cast bronze side frames by Lobaugh, later made in zamac. All Nation continued production of these trucks until it went out of business in the 2000’s. A pair of dummy cast metal Monarch couplers were included. No interior detail parts were provided, except for plastic window glazing with printed Venetian blinds where appropriate for a car. Each kit followed a new, lightweight prototype car of the period with correctly spaced windows punched into the extruded aluminum bodies.
