Why does the word flange make me snigger. Every time.
Wasn't it a word that George Martin nicked to describe an audio effect that he'd applied to some Beatles tracks and that Lennon couldn't grasp what it was about, so he just called it flanging and the name stuck. Flange pedals are still v popular.

That arose because Martin was pressing on the flange of the tape reel to vary the speed slightly.
