Mention of the qualifier "solid-state" in this definition implies that phototubes are excluded from it. The Modern Dictionary of Electronic(Rudolf F. Graf, 5th ed. 1977) states that "the term should not be used for a phototube, which is a vacuum tube and not a cell". However, these terms are, in fact, often used in a more general sense to designate all types of light-sensitive electronic devices. This record deals with the terms in their more restricted sense.  6, record 1, English, - electric%20eye

The term, which derived from the words costard(a type of apple) and monger, i. e. "seller, "came to be particularly associated with the "barrow boys" of London who would sell their produce from a wheelbarrow or wheeled market stall. Costermongers have existed in London since at least the 16th century, when they were mentioned by Shakespeare. They probably were never more numerous than during the Victorian era, when there were said to be over 30, 000 in 1860. They gained a fairly unsavoury reputation for their "low habits, general improvidence, love of gambling, total want of education, disregard for lawful marriage ceremonies, and their use of a peculiar slang language.

Horrifically beautiful, it combines the visceral terror of Lynch’s 1986 hit movie, Blue Velvet, with the slow-tease surrealism of his acclaimed television series, Twin Peaks. The result is an amoral work of deadpan exhibitionism, as unnerving as a strip-o-gram valentine.  1, record 10, English, - strip%2Do%2Dgram

Record number: 10, Textual support number: 1 OBS

This is a neologism by derivation whereby the combining form of telegram ’-gram’ is added to the word strip. Because the word ’strip’ ends with the consonant ’p’ and the word ’gram’ begins with the consonant ’g’, the vowel ’o’ was added in (between hyphens) for phonetic and lexical purposes. If the vowel ’o’ was missing in this neologism, the result would be ’strip-gram’ which sounds awkward to the ear and not as smooth as ’strip-o-gram’.  2, record 10, English, - strip%2Do%2Dgram
