Ah, SRBP (Something Resin Bonded Paper) board! Now I remember! Some of the items I listed (Veroboard, Tripad, VQ) are "SRPB Copper Matrix board" for their generic name.
AVO refers to a range of products, but has come to be generically used for an analogue meter by some people.
Like "I googled it ..." and many other examples.
Not to be confused with historical UK "GPO": General Post Office (Now Royal Mail/Post Office Counters Ltd/British Telecom separate entities)
Could someone tell me what "decals" translate as ? Logos, legends, labels, overlays, printing?

If you are refering to the waterslide stickers used on model kits and the like, here in britain they are called transfers. Adhesive backed ones are called stickers or decals. (from Decalomania I believe)

Transfers? (that's what they were known as in the UK 40 years ago, but times change) :-).

times
perhaps stickers or even signs
For model kits: The moisture-activated ones are "waterslide decals" or simply decals in the states. If they are the kind one burnishes on, we know them as "dry transfers". No idea why we don't call them dry decals, but I never hear that term here.
For other uses: General-purpose, self-adhesive (peel-back) ones are most often called stickers. For sports helmets (and other equipment), the stickers are usually referred to as decals. Iron-ons are generally called transfers. The only other moisture-activated types I know of are postal stamps (older) and temporary tattoos (there's even a special inkjet paper for this).
