RE: You're not referring to George Reid's fine book by any chance, are you?

Dave,
I agree with you that there is no official word on the matter. Reid is certainly not my argument for FE meaning anything (especially Ford Engine), but there are many plausible explanations ranging from the periodic table of elements (iron) to the line that was introduced (Ford Edsel, Fairlane Engine et al) with the FE. I don't claim to know the defacto answer and caution anybody who claims, without factual basis, that they do.

Thanks for the post.
