They aren't used at all now really, they were only ever mentioned at uni we never used them. They were only ever used for measuring 10m+

I'm not to keen on the sauna feel of the interior but I really like the externals.

I'm intrigued in the glass too, did anyone catch the manufacturer or had any experience with it?
