Most English motorcycle and auto makers used Lucas Electrics for lighting. Lucas was jokingly known as the prince of darkness for being very unreliable.

Bugs Bunny again.
Right after that I heard some spartan looking guy shout
“I will destroy you with my Iridium PU36 Electronic Space Modulator”.

I have a 2002 BMW Z4.
It leaks.
Their solution was to put a plastic shield under the whole car’s drivetrain.
Problem solved.................

The way it works:
The GEO belt has only so many orbital points (it’s finite), and those assignments are assigned by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)...a (shudder) agency run by the United Nations. Once the satellite is no longer in use, it gets decommissioned and sent to a disposal orbit out of the GEO belt, and the slot is available for re-assignment or retention by the country that originally applied for it. In this case, it looks like it was moved to disposal in the 70’s after the comm went out.
