BNC connectors??

[Brian Wood]

A little web surfing turned up several references like this one:

"Short for Bayonet Neill Concelman connector, a BNC connector is a type of
connector used with coaxial Ethernet cable. The connector is bayonet-style
meaning that it is put in then turned and locked in. This type of connector
is commonly used on a Token Ring network. BNC is also short for Bayonet Nut
Connector or British Naval/Navy Connector although more appropriately known
as the Bayonet Neill Concelman." (Neill Concelman was apparently the
inventor.)

Hello,  I'm trying to find out the meaning of "BNC".  In other words, does
"BNC"  stand for anything? Tnx. Bob Dean bobdean at hotmail.com
