Regardless of what delivery method is chosen, the replicator will transfer the audio to a glass master that will generate metal stampers for replication.

They also generate a significant amount of noise, since they are essentially refrigerators, however the compressor choice and air cooling system is the main determinant of this, allowing for flexibility for noise reduction based on the parts chosen.

The name was chosen to reflect the villagers ' concern that the wind farm would threaten three endangered species of bird – the ( red kite, the curlew, and the skylark ) – and to generate publicity for their cause by being longer than the previously longest placename in the UK: that of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Anglesey.
