RE: [OM] X/FP?

[Higgins, Michael (Ex AS01)]

I know I'm getting way off on a tangent here, but why FP "Focal Plane" flash
bulbs?  What has putting the flash on the focal plane got to do with
anything?  Surely they would work just as good off the Focal Plane?  (I love
knowing the origins of the markings on my OM-2... and I had assumed that FP
stood for Flash Bulb, but in another language!  in fact I'm sure I've told
people this!  oops.)
