A flash attachment. Some had a brand name, like Cube. Had 4 flash
bulbs, small ones, that rotated as the camera user took pictures. The
film was 12 or 20 pictures.

Or strobe, for one with a gas-discharge tube. (Strobe would also apply 
to the "machine gun" version of such lighting, but that wouldn't 
normally be in the context of cameras.)

Sure. Or to visually freeze motion of rotating objects.

The definition of "electronic flash" predates discos. But it's still 
used in the context of (expensive, powerful) studio gear. What I 
remember as a strobe (more or less the size and packaging like a flash 
gun) seems to now be called a speedlight.

At least, in the US. Dunno what the terminology was/is across the water.

I've only heard the term "speedlight" used by Nikon.  Perhaps they're
trying to establish a proprietary term.

Strobe works fine.  Google "strobist" and you'll find a community
dedicated to the use of such equipment as off-camera flash.  However
Canon uses "speedlight" on their Web site.  

However studio flash isn't all that expensive.  A Canon 600EX is about
500 bucks.   A Paul C. Buff Einstein goes for about the same.  Of
course you can get fancier and more expensive but there are few studio
situations a set of Einsteins won't handle.

I don’t think Switzerland is an EU country, but there are  differences
among Swiss, Austrian, and German German. How do they handle spelling
differences? It’s like US, Canadian, and UK spelling. Everyone likes to see
things the way they’re used to, even if it’s as minor as “color” vs
“colour”.

AIUI there's quite a few different German Germans!

(and variations even within Austria)

There are actually four official languages in Switzerland: German,
French, Italian and Romansh.  Most people who speak German in
Swizerland speak Swiss German, fewer speak Swiss Standard German.

> How do they handle spelling
> differences?

There are only very few (plus a few words which are different).
The only difference I know is that Swiss Standard German does not
use the ß (sharp s), using ss instead.

There is no commonly agreed form to write Swiss German, people
use Swiss Standard German instead.

No. My mistake mentioning Switzerland. Although I don't know if they can
withstand a "real" country surrounding them once Europe becomes one
country, making them an enclave.

Funny btw. that there is one German town completely surrounded by
Switzerland called Büsingen
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BCsingen_am_Hochrhein>. Interesting
things happen. Although it's a German town and part of the European Union
it's not part of the European customs territory. And although the Euro is
the official currency, like in the rest of Germany and most of Europe,
people usually pay with Swiss Francs.

I suppose written German German and Austrian German is the same. Swiss
German uses "ss" instead of "ß" in Germany. Thus there are only slight
differences in documents. But speaking and understanding is an entirely
different thing: People from northern Germany might have problems
understanding Swiss people. But they already have problems understanding
people from Bavaria, which is in Germany.

Thus if any German writes something (in German) anyone from Austria or
Switzerland will be able to read and understand it. And vice versa.

They have a web of treaties with the EU, including being part of the
Schengen free travel zone. They'll be fine.

Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave within Switzerland.  It was part
of the Swiss customs territory until a year ago when it was switched to
Italy against the wishes of the residents.

Formal Austrian and German German are pretty close.  I gather than everyone
learns formal Hochdeutsch in school, which they can use to talk to people
with otherwise impenetrable dialects.

Some people in Switzerland have been looking at the Brexit treaty,
and find some things in there quite attractive:

Perhaps they ought to wait around a couple of years to see just how
bad things look like they're going to get in the UK.

Well, they don't have much of a fishing industry to screw over, so 
that's 
already a competitive advantage.

yesm mostly. But the use of words can be quite different and hard to
understand for some people e.g. january is Januar in german where in
Austria people often use Jänner.

It is sometimes even difficult for people from Bavaria. But then
Bavarians can have problems understanding peopl from Friesia.

Despite German coming far closer to spelling things as they
are pronounced than English, only a few years ago, they decided
it was necessary to change how German was spelled.

Except for continuing to eschew the eszet, the Swiss (and, for
that matter, the Austrians) agreed to participate in the spelling
reform along with Germany. So apparently German spelling is
largely uniform across the German-speaking countries, even if
it is at variance with the spelling of the great bulk of literature
written in the German language.

Which is, of course, one major reason why the English-speaking
world has so far resisted calls for the reform of its spelling,
however flawed it may be.

That is true, but the changes were small - so small that I
thought it was not really worth it to go to all the trouble
of a reform for so litte.

A _big_ reform would have changed the spelling of "Physik"
(physics) to "Füsik".  However, it is likely that physicis would
have thrown bricks through the windows of their germanist colleagues
at university, so they didn't change that.

	Merriam-Webster was a pretty severe reform of English spelling.

Otherwise you mostly see it in niche applications, like the NATO
phonetic alphabet. It has "Alfa" for A, which I think had something to
do with certain NATO languages having difficulties with "ph" being
pronounced as "f".

Alfa is also the NATO designation for a rather interesting class of
Soviet submarine.
