Aren't those scanning backs?  If so, sorry, Anthony was right, as he said
"ONE-SHOT" backs...

Austin,

Antony unilaterally changed the parameters for the discussion to one shot
backs - probably unintentionally....

However, here is my original posting for your info, and, as far as I can
see, there's no mention or qualification in it refering to either scanning
backs, one shot backs or even three shot backs.

To which Anthony replied:

matters..... :-)
