Wheatstone: whatta guy

[AndyBurr@xxxxxxx]

Probably some of you caught a segment of "All Things Considered" on NPR the
other night; it included an interesting bit of 3-D trivia: Charles
Wheatstone, the 19th century British physicist and 3D theorist , inventor of
the type of stereoviewer that commonly bears his name, was also the inventor
of the concertina. A real rennaissance guy, that Wheatstone. (The program
segment was about someone who composed for the concertina.)
