Subject: Anglepoise lamp



From:

Margaret Moore. _Understanding British English_ "adjustable desk lamp."



Norman Moss. _British/American Language Dictionary_ "an adjustable desk

lamp with a long arm. Originally a trade name."



Norman Schur. _British English A to Zed_ "_approx_. adjustable table lamp.

Originally a trademark, now becoming generic. The term describes

a table lamp with a base of a series of hinged springs and

counter-weights that adjust the height, beam direction, and so

on."

Hope that helps.
