	I have these three strobe lights and I want to make them flash
synchronously, with minimum interconnection. Here is the schematic -
I may have interpreted wrongly so feel free to tell me if something doesn't
make sense:

	|-------------------------------|
	|		6V	|	|
	C		|	|	L  Light
	|		R 56K	|	|
	|    150K	|	|	Gnd
	|-----R---------|	|
	|		|	|
	|		|	|
	|		|	|
	R 22K		|	|
	|		| 22K  <
	|		|--R--Q     6V
	|	       /       \    |
|-------|-------------Q		\----
|	|	       >
|	|		|
|	|		|
CdS	R 52K		Gnd
| Cell	|
|	|
|	|
|-------|
	|
	|
	Gnd

	I've tried to connect them directly - at the terminals of the
light bulb, because that is the most accessible and simplest connection,
and it works for two bulbs, but I fear trying a third will overload the
single transistor that would probably source all the current in a case
like this.

	First of all - am I right that ONE transistor will source all the
current? And second, if I am, what other way is there to interconnect these
oscilators so that they are in phase but power themselves seperately?

	I hope the schematic is clear enough - if you have any questions
about it email me and I'll update it...
