- The Alexander Eaglerock series was one of several civilian aircraft brands that emerged after World War I. Winging away from the Denver-based Alexander Aircraft Company at “mile-high” altitudes, equipped with a Curtiss OX-5, 90-horsepower engine, Eaglerocks joined Wacos, Travel Airs, and Swallows as the most popular general aviation aircraft of the late 1920s.
- Scotia Plate (Wikipedia)
The Scotia Plate (Spanish: Placa Scotia) is a minor tectonic plate on the edge of the South Atlantic and Southern oceans. Thought to have formed during the early Eocene with the opening of the Drake Passage that separates Antarctica and South America, it is a minor plate whose movement is largely controlled by the two major plates that surround it: the Antarctic Plate and the South American Plate. The Scotia Plate takes its name from the steam yacht Scotia of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902–04), the expedition that made the first bathymetric study of the region.
