I thought I would post this little historical nugget here as its Centuri/Enerjet replated and I am trying to keep related materials in similar posts instead of starting new posts, for later searches by historians of the 22nd century.

from the NAR In Action Column by Ron Wright , Model Rocketeer, July 1974:

"While on the subject of manufacturers, it has been learned from a very reliable source that it is true that the ENERJET Division of Centuri Engineering has been disbanded. This was an economic measure as this division was never a profit making venture.

However, the rumor that Centuri's engine making production has been transferred to Estes is completely false".


We now know, that at some time in the 74-75 timeframe, Centuri's motor making production was shipped to Penrose. I am trying to pinpiont this date more accurately.

If anybody has any additional time date about this please post.


I've also found additional Centuri/Enerjet tiem point data that I will post at a later date.
