Correct. Oddly enough, IIRC Masonite was the originator of tempered
hardboard, which is why Masonite has become the generic name for the
substance even though the company itself no longer makes the hardboad
in its original form (it shapes the stuff now and sells it as
doorskins, among other things).

The Masonite was also used by cake decoraters - they used the Masonite as
the solid plate under the cakes - little frosting like glue and wax paper
and the cake stuck in place on the "solid" 1/4" surface. Wonder what they
use now?
