gareth Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I can't recall Strand rebadging the PAL 1200, but recall they did rebadge the Roboscan 1220 as Hyperbeam which was a 1200w moving mirror unit, but no framing shutters. That's the one! Thanks. Looks like I got it wrong,, sending the prize back gareth, No need! Andy's explanation of the acronym may well be the 'official' Strand version (although I've never heard that before). But to anyone who used them, MRL stood for Mohammedan Religious Leader, on account of the tendency of the very early units to occasionally all turn to face the same way and tip up and down of their own accord, hence their accquiring the name 'Ayatollah lights' (a story related to me by someone who was one of the original production sparks on Starlight Express, the show on which these units first appeared, and should therefore know!!).
