The little black shape could conceivably be a shovel on top of a cable with the T meaning Telephone/Telegraph/ Telecommunications depending on how old it is. G.Harman |

It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984. Vaclav Klaus |

T for Tens as in tension of the heavy kind?
I recall once having a tape recorder made in the Czech republic. Apart from the engineering being crap, the din sockets on the rear panel had some very odd signs against them embossed on the plasstic. From memory the screws had a circle with an upside down t and an exclamation mark beside them. the din for microphone seemed to me to be a tiny face with a zig zag line and a mouth like an O. I never did understand them. I'm sure if you were Czech it was obvious. It was made by Tesla, no not the inventor the excuse for a company bearing his name that exported to the world and most of the devices fell apart in a year.

Mike Then I lean even more to the poster who suggested 'pressurised telecommunications duct' -- Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not. Ayn Rand. |
