The 'Canal Defence Light' cover name was intended to suggest that the device was to be used along and around the Suez Canal area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 11:17, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Do you have a reference (book, website, journal) for that? Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just put the comment above because I thought someone might wonder why it was called that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.147.13 (talk) 13:51, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
