We have a raging debate going on at work with some folks beliving
that BNC stands for British Naval Connector.... While others(Like
me) say Bayonet-Neill-Concelman.

The AMP catalog says that BNC is 'Said to be' Bayonet-Neill-Councelman. We
would be very interested in any source of reliable information that
documents the origin of the BNC naming convention.


Please Please help !!!
