The last time this was discussed at this forum, the most reliable response said
that BNC stands for BAYONET - NEILL - CONCELMAN (the last two being the
designers (?).

By the way, if anybody Stateside or in Europe reads this, would you mind dropping
me a note via email? I've posted a request to this group (a total of three times)
recently, and haven't had any response (possibly due to it never having got past
Sydney).
