You qualify, Dean, but where's your first guess?

(and next time, lock the VR when you go out - this thread has no door, so the problem has to be solved at the source Wink)

Come on then Dean, your turn!

Hmm... I could think of one, but I cannot think properly at the moment, I've got two assignments to do for the course I'm doing.

I think Dean knows the answer, but refuses to come up with it. You have a go, James, we're two elderly men trying to educate you Wink

Right..... I'll give it away if nobody's interested any more:

Christie's water crossing helps you measure the resistance you'll encounter...

Wheatstone Bridge

For the techies, because the name comes from

Its operation is similar to the original potentiometer except that in potentiometer circuits the meter used is a sensitive galvanometer.

BUMP!! I still have no idea... You say "artist" so it's a person rather than a band. Is he/she included in the archives under his/her own name or is he/she only a band member?
