I was watching a youtube video about that recently.  Has two wheels that thing, one going in X axis you can see at front, other was the Y axis, so one wheel was always dragging the other at a right angle, no matter how you moved it!  They later came up with the globe and optical designs - fortunately for us..

I'll need to try and look that up. Sounds interesting!

Sad news. Probably lived for over twice as long as expected though.

 

Very true. I had the pleasure  seeing UFO twice. Once at the Apollo and the other time at the Barrowlands. Saw Waysted at the East Kilbride Rock and Pop festival. Pete got up to jam with the headliners Nazareth and promptly threw up on Stage.
