Thanks for the link! Also interesting, Mr. Tuck's middle name was "Fenton," aka the "Fenton Silencer." J.

Yes, I have a set of Klipsch headphones that do that. They're a few years old so probably old technology but they do seem to help in noisy situations. J.

Arthur Clarke wrote "Silence Please" between 1953 and 1956, according to his Preface to Tales From the White Hart." Only 60 years and we have real silencers! (For extra credit, what was Fenton's first name?) J. On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 10:06 AM jimlux <jimlux@earthlink.net> wrote: > On 7/14/17 7:55 AM, Jeremy Nichols wrote: > > Thanks for the link!
