tutania. British manufacturer William Tutin, who had a plant in Birmingham in about 1770, may have been as patriotic as the inventors of the sten gun, who named their invention from their initials plus the En of England. Tutin manufactured a sil- very white alloy of tin, antimony, and copper, which he proba- bly named after himself and four letters from Britannia.
