Is this process an example of distributed knowledge where several people know a little about anything? Firebrand38

I'd rather not deal in "mayhaps". If you have a link to a picture of this light driven galvanometer all for to the good. Like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_galvanometer After your suggestion I looked for "mirror galvanometer" and found that. Hurrah to both of us! Thus ends my Blackadder moment for the day. jayessel

Laser light shows use mirrors on galvanometers to steer laser beams to form pictures and letters. The DLP video projectors use the same principle. firebrand38

But seriously, I think that they were contrasting the size of the mirror with the cricket. How the mirror is used to study electricity is beyond my humble resources.

You see, the cricket is studying electricity by using the mirror. And as we all know, very few electrical advances have been made by crickets. They're pretty good at what they do but they have little grasp of physics or, for that matter, science in general. This is exactly the problem with bad writing.
