	They are up in the hundred thousands, so going to be quite old, someone may have a more definite answer though.

	Late 70s, 1978 or 1979. As far as I can remember, anyway. Could be 1980, but I don't think so. Edited by Rupert - 05 Apr 21 at 8:08pm

	Just went for a read of the CA site and they say nearly 50,000 have been built. Numbers slowed dramatically in the 21st century.

	Thought it was in the hundred thousands, getting mixed up with 'Laser'.
