If this  isn't a joke, What is a turnbuckle first off?  further what's a 
revolving  turnbuckle and 
what part of the tape frame are we talking  about?


Turnbuckle - the bit attached to the spring at the bottom of a tape frame  
that the tape runs through. Usually a solid moulding that forms the bottom of  
the large 'W' formed by the tape. If John and Martin (and Brian?) have come up  
with a revolving version (I have to assume the pins that the tape passes over 
 are the bit that revolve) then that removes a potential sticking point in 
the  tape path...
