**************************************************************************

	Back in the mid-1940's, my dad was a mechanic for Continental and
I remember his telling about the carboard cannisters that they used in
those days for motion sickness (in place of the bags with the bridge score
sheets that you find in the seat pockets nowadays).  They were called
"erp-cups".

	There was also a manufacturer of private planes in those long-past
days known as Aercoupe.  I'm sure you can guess by this time what their
nickname was.  I always wondered if there was a connection between this
unfortunate circumstance and their no longer being with us (if indeed they
aren't--I haven't heard of them since).
