Gasplane markings explanation

[IanC]

Friends,

I'm performing a major update to my Gasplane site and was just wondering what you guys think the last line of the attached image of a Gasplane label mean.

The line I am talking about is the one:

80 Mo Ap

In previous discussions, 80 is sometimes mentioned as the number of times the Gasplane had been folded.

What puzzles me about this explanation is that on other examples, such as this one: http://www.allaboutgasplanes.com/originalexample/5/ the 80 is followed by a "g" does anyone know what this "g" means?

With regards the final parts, Mo Ap, are they the conditions in which the Gasplane can be used? or do they mean something completely different?

I know there have been various threads in the past but unfortunately nothing conclusive came of the discussions.

Thanks in advance.

I would assume the "g" is for gefalten (folded/ pleated). I'm not sure we the typical "Mo" and "Ap" stand for. Other members might know.

Could the markings "Mo" and "Ap" perhaps also be for the type of material (or material and use)? Such as the later-war nylon ones marked “80 Ly We [Tp]" (Lyafol = early nylon + Tp = tropical). The one pictured is from another forum member. It would be great to understand all the gasplane abbreviations.

Appreciate the responses SF Mike. Totally agree it would be good to get definitive answers regarding the abbreviations used.

Thanks for the explanation regarding the suffix "g", that makes sense.

You could be on to some thing with the material and the markings Mo and Ap.

Hopefully we can get an answer
