The  Organs of Johnson on the antennae are, I believe, used in the 
measurement  of speed and possibly distance.




There is a lot that isn't known about Johnston's organs. Actually I am  
wondering whether the area of the antennae where they are located is in fact  swept 
during the cleaning process. Peter D - you have been studying them - do  they 
clean Johnston's organs?
