... with my sincere apologies to anyone I may have offended with my mention of a possible pun.
I can remember being shown round Ealing Film Studios as part of a 'management' course when it still had motor-generator sets in its 'power house' to supply DC mains for arc lamps. Must have been in the mid to late seventies. I thought at the time: why do generators always seem to end up having much larger diameters than alternators? Is it something to do with increasing the ripple frequency?
