Yep! The "Neill Councelman" part is the tube with the center pin. There is
another version, the "Threaded Neill Councelman" or "TNC" that is very
popular with larger lines because it is physically more robust and
weatherproofs better.

As you may know, David, the British Navy adopted them as a standard coaxial
connector and so a lot of folks believe that BNC stands for "British Naval
Connector" - but that would make a TNC a "Turkish Naval Connector"...  Hi!

>QUIZ:  What does BNC stand for?

"Bayonet Neill Concelman", from Paul Neill and Carl Concelman.

Am I right?
