Who tested: Rokslide field eval (2022-09) — read the original write-up, which is the source of record. Who structured it: Optics Intel. We extract outcomes and cite; the testing labor is theirs.
Sample size: 1 (single late-1980s unit with decades of service) — evidence about this unit, not a verdict on every unit shipped.
