Hoppers And Scooters

I have got(ten) used to referring to Time Patrol time machines/temporal vehicles as "timecycles" but it has occurred to me to check what they are called in the series. So far, I have scanned only the first three stories in Time Patrol (Riverdale, NY, 2010).

(Before the Time Machine, HG Wells wrote about a "Chronic Argo.")

"Time Patrol"

time hopper, pp. 20, 29, 30, 43, 44

hopper, pp. 23 (x 2), 33, 34, 42, 46, 50 (x2), 53

machines, p. 43

machine, pp. 20, 45, 50

"Brave To Be A King"

scooter, pp. 62 (x2), 81, 82, 83, 93, 94, 97 (x2), 103, 106, 110

gadget, p. 82

machine, p. 62, 97, 105, 108, 110

time machine, p. 93

hopper, pp. 84, 108

device, p. 95

engine, pp. 95, 102

thing, p. 104

iron throne, p. 108

"Gibraltar Falls"

hoppers, p. 115

hopper, pp. 120, 122, 125

vehicle, pp. 116, 120, 125

carrier, pp. 120, 125

machine, pp. 120, 126

machines, p. 123

vehicles, p. 126

flyer, p. 119

I have not double checked every reference and will, of course, correct any errors or omissions that come to light. I did not find "cycle" in any of these stories although the machine is compared to a motorcycle on p. 20 and the hoppers are compared to motorcycles on p. 115.

"Man does not live by bread alone..." (p. 118) is a Biblical reference but probably one that I have noted before.
