Subject: 18-gauge needle types - (sm)

I lent out my equipment words book and never got it back!  Argh!  Anyone know these two needles... 


1. S/L 'hausted' needle or 'halstead' needle. 


2.  S/L 'suss-man' needle.


I will go to Ebay and find another one of these, since I'm apparently not getting mine back, but in the meantime I'd be SO thankful for any ideas!
