Hi All, I'll buy this, and put in in the next draft of the Glossary. I really don't want a different term for every possible type of dial!

I don't like the idea of something being 'partly universal'. It seems to me things are either universal or they are not. [A similar problem also can occur with use of the word 'unique']. If one states the boundaries within which the device is universal that is far better to my way of thinking. But then maybe I am a pedant. Patrick
