Cleaned it up[edit]

I cleaned it up a bit and removed the tags. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.20.230 (talk • contribs) 08:03, 31 December 2005‎

Thought it made more sense to have the specific meanings listed first, followed by the linguistic so that the derivation might be apparent — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.9.128 (talk • contribs) 17:04, 25 June 2006‎

Phoenix apparatus is not a Weather Rock[edit]

The reference to the Phoenix mission's tell-tale being a "weather rock" is incorrect. The only mention of "weather rock" is a joke on the Slashdot story page. ("Weather rock" is not mentioned in the context of official NASA items.) -- 128.104.112.147 (talk) 19:29, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While a rather exotic application wrt the Phoenix mission, tell-tales have been a common device on aircraft. Usually just a short piece of string or cloth attached near the cockpit windows or canopy so that the pilot can judge whether the aircraft is yawing to the relative wind. The USN was particularly fond of them on carrier aircraft. Odd that these aren't mentioned in this article since that's a far more common application than their use on Martian space probes. Did some looking around and there is a wiki article on "yaw strings" which is an odd name for them - perhaps there should be a link between the two articles.Jmdeur (talk) 13:26, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flintlock Firearms might what to be added[edit]

This is a video on how these worked on a vary rare weapons type in 1814:
Earliest one was the pistol that fired 5 rounds in a few seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ExwYmBadXw The 12 round rifle could be fired fairly fast using this type of weapon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU-W8SS_tmI --OxAO (talk) 07:17, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
