These were available in Europe, but very rare in the USA (until the late
80's, where the power convex ones became standard).  At one time I had an
opportunity to import some directly from Europe at a price of about $40 each
(double the price of flat ones), but had to buy about thirty of them.  I
offered them to the list but dropped the idea after receiving only two
serious responses from list members.
