                           The Trilobite
                           -------------

Trilobites were hard-shelled many-legged marine animals which lived
in the primeval seas some 500 million years ago. Few exceeded a length
of 12 inches.


                           The Megabite
                           ------------
The design of the world's largest kite, "Megabite", was based on the
trilobite but the giant kite is 55 metres in length rather than 12 inches.
