[Fists] Quiz

OK, the "thumb piece" was the "button" and the "finger piece" was the 
"paddle".

Now, back in the '60s when  my Lightning Bug slid off the table at sea, 
(NO, I wasn't transmitting at the time) and busted the finger piece, I 
removed both, and made up a large paddle out of a piece of discarded 
plexiglas. That makeshift paddle was SO comfortable, I kept it with the 
key all these years, used it happily,  and only removed it (actually 
Vibroplex did, and returned it to me) when I had the bug completely 
restored last year.
