I think the last time I used flashbulbs was before Australia standardised on
Metric, perhaps it's a "retro" idea in keeping with flashbulbs.  By the way,
where can you get a flashgun which uses those giant bulbs or since it's a
"standard" Edison screw base, what sort of circuit do you need to fire it ?
I presume the flash contacts in something like an OM would be a bit
"delicate" for a flash like that.
