I've just reviewed the descriptions of the 2-22 and TG-3 in Martin
Simon's books in case I'd missed anything. Annoyingly, the text doesn't
mention the brake/spoiler arrangement and the photos don't show it
either. The drawing of the 2-22 shows a broad top surface-only device:
did he get it wrong or does the brake have a really wide sealing strip?
The TG-3 is drawn with a much narrower chord device above and below the
wing and looks much more like an S-H brake.

Thanks for the confirmation about the other Schweitzer gliders.
That was rather a blind guess on my part.

You'll probably have to get used to it. Language changes;
we must all choose our particular upsets over this
fact.

Sure. I wasn't meaning to get at anybody though it may have looked like
it. I've tripped up in the past over different meanings of a word and
I'll probably trip again. This is only terminology and we all know what
the other means. Other words have *radically* different meanings on
either side of the pond, something I'm not about to illustrate!
