   Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:   
      
   AK>  1. What is "half-moon spectacles"?   
      
      
             I just saw a wonderful example of what Laurie was probably referring   
   to in THE CROWN, second season, episode 5 ("Marionettes").  The year is 1958 &   
   various scenes take place in the London office of a magazine publisher.  I see   
   toward the end a middle-aged employee wearing eyeglasses (AKA spectacles) with   
   lenses of a shape resembling half moons, i.e. if one imagines the half moon as   
   we usually see it rotated 180 degrees with the flat part on top.  In this case   
   the frame holds the rounded part in place but there's no frame on top....  :-)
