Default Ye olde motors?

Noticed a listing on e-bay with some umusual motors:
1) A "special" motor with a code of B8.2. Printing was in red ink.
2) A 1/4A8-0 "Booster Only" motor. Printing was in green ink.

Any info or ideas?

These motors were available in 1966

Thanx!
Really surprised about the ink color on the 1/4A booster motors.

Welcome to Vern. Run of press. Reason to determine standards for colors.

If you look in the old catalogs at ninfinger.org, you'll see that before 1968, Estes printed their motors with the color = total impulse.

From 1968 on, the color = recommended use.

This should be in the FAQ.
