| This is kind of an odd question, I think. In Tim Vattima's inventory of set #1782, the TRU-almost-exclusive Divers Discovery Station, has some interesting part names. This inventory is at (URL). And a picture of the set is at, of course, (URL). One (...) (28 years ago, 6-Nov-98, to lugnet.admin.database)
