Brackets
A bracket is either of two tall fore- or back-facing punctuation marks commonly used to isolate a segment of text or data from its surroundings. Typically deployed in symmetric pairs, an individual bracket may be identified as a 'left' or 'right' bracket or, alternatively, an "opening bracket" or "closing bracket", respectively, depending on the Writing system#Directionality, directionality of the context. Specific forms of the mark include parentheses (also called "rounded brackets"), square brackets, curly brackets (also called 'braces'), and angle brackets (also called 'chevrons'), as well as various less common pairs of symbols. As well as signifying the overall class of punctuation, the word "bracket" is commonly used to refer to a specific form of bracket, which varies from region to region. In most English-speaking countries, an unqualified word "bracket" refers to the parenthesis (round bracket); in the United States, the square bracket. Glossary of mathematical sym ...

Research And Development
Research and development (R&D or R+D), known in Europe as research and technological development (RTD), is the set of innovative activities undertaken by corporations or governments in developing new services or products, and improving existing ones. Research and development constitutes the first stage of development of a potential new service or the production process. R&D activities differ from institution to institution, with two primary models of an R&D department either staffed by engineers and tasked with directly developing new products, or staffed with industrial scientists and tasked with applied research in scientific or technological fields, which may facilitate future product development. R&D differs from the vast majority of corporate activities in that it is not intended to yield immediate profit, and generally carries greater risk and an uncertain return on investment. However R&D is crucial for acquiring larger shares of the market through the marketisation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In a letter from George Cuthbertson to Dariend Murray, publisher of ''The Dinghy'', a magazine from Venice, California, on the development of the first C&C 61, and Cuthbertson commented, in part: You will notice that on various drawings reference is made to C&C 61 design.

Redline 41
The Redline 41 is a series of sailboat designs, first built in 1967 and that remained in production in 2017. The first two designs were by Cuthbertson & Cassian and the more recent one by Mark Mills.

Design and development All the Redline 41 designs are small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass and other composites. The earlier two designs were predominately built as cruising sailboats, whereas the most recent boat was conceived as a racer that can also be used for cruising. The original Redline 41, later called the Mark I, was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian and produced by Bruckmann Manufacturing, although only two were built between 1967 and the following year. The second model, known as the Redline 41 Mark II, was also designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian and produced by Bruckmann Manufacturing starting in 1969, which became part of C&C Yachts that same year.
