Minié 4.D
Production of the Minié 4.D series of air-cooled, flat four engines began before World War II and resumed afterwards into the 1950s. Design and development Établissements Victor Minié, based in Colombes, only built low power flat-four aircraft engines, always using light alloy castings. Their first three known types, the 4 B0 Horus, 4 E0 Horus and 4 E2 Horus, produced only , and respectively. The 4 B0 was available with either single or dual ignition but all others had dual ignition. The 4.D series, also dual ignition engines, were larger and more powerful. Production began in 1938. Halted by the Occupation of France during World War II, it began again in 1946, continuing until the company closed in 1954. Apart from the D4 Horus, all post-war engines had separate head and cylinder castings rather than the pre-war pairs. The name Horus was used with all Minié's engines from the mid-1930s until 1949.

SIPA S
Sipa (literally, "kick") is the Philippines' traditional native sport which predates the Spanish rule. The game is related to Sepak Takraw. Similar games include Footbag net, Footvolley, Bossaball and Jianzi. The game is both played by two teams, indoors or outdoors, on a court that is about the size of a tennis court. The teams consist of one, two or four players in each side. The aim of the game is to kick a soft ball made out of rattan fragments, back and forth over a net in the middle of the court. The sport requires speed, agility and ball control. A point is awarded every time a player kicks the ball, the more the player kicks the ball, the more the points accumulate. Rules attached to the game are very minimal and even children can play, but the ratan ball version is preferred more for formal games. Washer version One version of Sipa uses a lead washer covered with cloth, which gets kicked. This version is played by both girls and boys, but girls tend to use the outs ...

Brochet MB
''Constructions Aéronautiques Maurice Brochet'' was a French manufacturer of light aircraft established by Maurice Brochet (18 June 1899 – 16 June 1969) in Neauphle-le-Château in 1947. Aircraft design and construction Initially, the firm sold plans for light aircraft of Brochet's own designs to amateur constructors, but gradually undertook more and more aircraft construction, with its final designs not marketed for homebuilding at all. During the early 1950s, Brochet sold some 58 light planes of eight designs to the French government for distribution to the country's aeroclubs. Aircraft produced Maurice Brochet built the MB.10 and the MB.20 gliders in the 1930s. The latter became the Avia 50 motorized glider. He also built three units of the MB.30 monoplane with parasol wing in 1934 before opening the Brochet factory. The aircraft produced in series by the factory after WW II were the following:Simpson, 2005, p. 71 *Brochet MB.40 (1 built) *Brochet MB.50 (12 built) *Broch ...
