"Straight-8" seems to be a fairly modern
name coming from collectors
My _guess_ is that that probably happened because there is no formal 'model'
for that first one (unlike the first -11, which got re-named the -11/20
BITD), and people recently picked that to disambiguate them from all the
other -8's.
But what I _don't_ know is _why_ that particular name? I was hoping some
-8 collector knew...
