I always referred to it as a "Harbor Mine".

This BTW is not my preferred camera layout... just the one the
patent-holder believed was optimal (back when computer cycles were
expensive circa 1995).    Meridianal rather than geodesic.

Your reference lead me to look into what the COVID19 morphology actually
is... the canonical images we all see seem to be computer renderings
with a lot more symmetry (and roughly one single size) than the few
electron micrographs I see  suggest.... But the "nominal" reference
"diagram" has a very similar number of peplomers to our "cameras" on the
prototype.  Does anyone have a better handle on the range of scales of
COVID19 in the wild?
