closed the canal and we ran out of gunboats :-)

| Folks
I read the reply about the Aldiss Lamps, and it sounded like a stupid
name so I phoned HMS Nelson in Portsmouth. And lo, and behold they -are- called
Aldiss Lamps, after the bloke who invented them. Richard Anson suggested it
some from of "Fibreless FDDI".

| So lets get this straight.
You ask a question totally unrelated to this conference but get the
correct answer in the first reply. You don't believe the answer
so you contact the authority concerned to verify it.
Bizarre.

cover and grow more hair, if I am to avoid any ridicule.

After a back to back contest 'sf' at 6' 8" was an inch taller than me
(I reckon I'm 6'4"). Something wrong somewhere.

| 890.14 | I will bring a meter stick in tommorrow | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Steven | Wed May 29 1996 17:21 | 12 |
| In a strange twist to the tallest person in MCS saga I win the title.
Not without confusion though. I have decided to put an end to the
debate that has no doubt had the CSC in various states on confusion over the
last week, what with the Aldiss lamps query.
So... tommorrow I will bring in my trusty meter stick which I regularly use
for measuring..things.
Stay tuned.

| Just to get back to the original note (boringggggg!). I am relatively
certain that the Aldiss lamp is actually a hand help lamp that flashes by
use of a trigger; just like a gun and trails around on an electrical
lead (Semi-portable). The huge lights that you see being used in the old
WW2 movies are called "signalling lanterns" and used arc lights (High
voltage jumping across two carbon rods). The modern version of the
latter use high luminousity lamps but are still called lanterns.

| I had to risk public humiliation by phone a Naval Base just to ask
them what a flashing light was called. I am sure they would have
got there information correct.
To draw an end to this furious debate, which ranged from Aldiss lamps
to my age, my height, and other personal characteristics, I think we
will just call them Aldiss Lamps.
