It has a much more lively (and feminine) name that that. Its builder didn't give it the name I'm looking for - the name came from the people who worked with it / her.

Well, I made a mental SWAG, then checked it out on the web.  It seems that at least one of 'em was referred to as "Bouncing Betty" which was the first name that came to me.  Ye olde sleep deprivation can do wonders for a sick mind.   :lmao:
