I'm back on the list after a break so this may have been raised already - but 
I've heard from several people over time that metal-cased Horizons were much 
more common on this side of the pond than in the US. I'm sure the wooden ones 
were first, but maybe for whatever reason production of metal-cased ones 
happened much earlier in Europe than it did in the States?
