This discussion reminds me of the time about 10 or 15 years ago that I went to a tack shop to buy a lip strap for my pelham bit. The teenager working in the shop did not even know what a lip strap was, and tried to sell me a CURB strap.
Teenager: “Oh, you mean a curb strap…here you go, they’re in the western section.”
Me (with one raised eyebrow and set teeth): “NO. I mean a…LIP…strap. For a PELHAM bit. NOT a western CURB bit.”
Then I had to explain what they looked like, and that that’s what the little holes on the shanks of pelham bits were for.
I was all of maybe 30 or 35 years old at the time, and I can very distinctly remember thinking to myself as I left the shop, “KIDS THESE DAYS!!!”
