[edit] Appostrophe?
Shouldn't there be an Apostrophe? i.e. "Jeffries' Tube". That's quite aside from the common internet spelling "Jeffrey's Tube" - which clearly is wrong if it derives from a person's name with the "ies" spelling. Graldensblud 16:36, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Just pulled out Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise and the Star Trek The Next Generation Technical Manual (p. 83 has a paragraph about them) and neither of them used an apostrophe. I think the intention is not to say that these tubes belong to Matt Jeffiries, just that they're named after him. Like how the John F. Kennedy Airport doesn't have an apostrophe-s after the name.
