"Thumpers I had thought that these were used for Downton rather than traditional Bucks"
No, Downton has its own specific bobbins. Thumpers are often called Bucks thumpers. Just wish I could work out which book it is that itemises all the different bobbins of this similar style, and which only calls specific ones 'thumpers'. It *could* be the Springett's bobbin book, but of course when I need it, I can't put my hand on it. Perhaps some kind person would have a quick look for me. It's like T4L, and goes invisible. I have solved it with the latter and have at least 4 copies around my bookshelves.
