	When teaching these reels I use the word 'tandem' to 
describe not changing leads and 'alternating tandem reel' or 'tandem 
reels with alternating lead'.
	We don't have any problems with those decriptions.

	By the way I seem to be having difficulty with my signature 
box. Did everyone get a signature with this message?
It should be the 'Happy Dancing' one.
