just as a follow on from above,. it was Keith Banberry who ran the Melbourne shop for a while. He took over from a fascinating German who used to grind his own mirrors in the back of the shop. He had some stories to tell about crossing from East Germany to West Germany and going back for his relatives. As far as I know, Keith was only an ordinary member of the ASV but he did distinguish himself later after returning to complete his degree at Monash. finally becoming a lecturer in the physics department and then moved, a few years ago I believe, to ANSTO and the Australian Synchotron.
