I feel an anecdote coming on...
I bumped into an ethics teacher newly returned from a tip
to London and Paris, on Saturday.
I asked how she came by the dark bruised rings round
each eye.
She told me that while looking round the Tower, there was a
bomb alert (one of several she experienced, sadly).
People were asked to leave the building, and she did.
But on the cobbles outside, when jostled by another escapee,
she tripped and fell on her glasses, which though unbroken,
inflicted the bruises.

Some where in my collection of videos is my recording of one demo'd at
an NCNAAPT meeting -- evidently there are many out there.
The first one I saw was a very small (no load- I think model airplane
using its prop.) one in '66 * built by the chief mechanician at Keele,
Physics (UK). He's the one who responded to my noting that the
building's doors didn't have panic bars w/, "Being British, we don't panic."
* About the time of the Channel hovercraft.
