Certainty on many models of Rudges "Compression" plates were fitted as standard, these could be removed in the pursuit of more speed and power.
I thought divers would be more interested in decompression.

So, what is your explanation for the universal use of the name "Compression Plate", Richard???
Not that it really matters!

much incorrect terminology is now used in the English language, in particular by the BBC who at one time were sticklers for correct and concise English but no longer, anyway you are correct it is of no consequence really and I'm bored with the topic !
most kind regards and seasonal greetings

Yeah...yeah...and anyway ..what's all this condenser guff??
It's a flipping capacitor!!!

On our old bikes definitely condensers and they use accumulators with globes in the lights.

I heard it on the wireless
