Just like Anacin and Anadin - when things move across international

It's Zamak in the US, and Mazak in the UK (possibly Europe too?) and other

I thought it was Mazak too - eg

I had those exact same original Mazak handwheel dials on my ML7, changed them out for the
machined resettable ones from Myford. Much nicer!
G'day all,
I have just uploaded the engineering drawings for the early PDP-11/05, the one with
the solid (no slots) Mazak lower bezel
Huh? Mazak made machine tools. Did you mean Zamak
(zinc-based die casting alloy)?
