Re: Reels in Bishop of Columbus ("tandem" reels and "dolphin" reels)

Hereabouts (Southern California) we've often called the reels in Pelorus  
Jack "dolphin reels" (must be another localism!..."dolphin reels" anywhere  
else?), and have typically left tandem reels in their logical state  (cf. 
someone's previous reference to a tandem bicycle) as reels in tandem with  the 
leader and follower remaining unchanged.  Apparently then our  "tandem" 
localism, albeït logical, is now in conflict with official  RSCDS terminology.
