If your implication is that it cannot be a cylinder because it is  
hollow, then we have to start referring to automotive engines as "six- 
tube," "eight-tube" etc. instead of "six-cylinder," "eight-cylinder"  
etc. I've got a four-tube car and a five-tube radio?

LOL

Disc records were once referred to as "plates." Whatever...

Take care,


Joe
