Greetings!

Peter Price gives a lengthy argument that the the reels in Pelorus Jack and 
as described in the Manual are not 'tandem' based on a single dictionary 
definition starting "in a single line, one behind another;". I was not 
involved in the writing of the Manual but in defence of the description, I 
note that my current version of the Concise Oxford Dictionary also offers a 
definition of tandem as

"a group of two people or machines working together".
