For god's sake Al, this isn't top secret, or rocket science. There must be
thousands of divelights out there with this feature, for anyone to see.
I've done it my own way (using a dab of silicone, to allow the plug a
little flex) but thought it would be interesting to know how EE manages a
gimbal in that limited space.

As far as building a car, haven't build my own car, but I've built a hell
of a lot of other good stuff. And if I was to build my own car, I wouldn't
ask GM, and neither do Volvo, and Ford, et al, when they design a new brake
system, but you better believe they take a close look at what GM is doing,
and borrow any good ideas they can. That's the way technology and progress
works.

And anyhow I don't recall asking GM, nor EE - I'm asking other divers on
this group, who are free to reply if they feel like it or not. This list
exists for the free exchange of information, and it always bugs me when
people try to cut it off.

Now, can anyone tell me how this feature works, or has Al scared you all silent?
