The original aim of this work was to give a brief review of gluonic mesons, to be searched for in an experiment dedicated to central production of a relatively low mass hadronic system, whereby rapidity gaps are possible to impose, requiring initial hadron beams of sufficient energy and intensity. Sections 1 - 4 are devoted to this aim. The various theoretical ingrediants, covering several decades of thinking by many, including the author, are contained in five appendices, dedicated to specifically gluonic binaries within QCD and their underlying Yang-Mills base structure
