 Performance of Short, Vertical, Top-Capacitance-Loaded Antennas
In this program the hat is a number of horizontal radial wires or rods optionally surrounded by a wire circle.
But its inductance is less when a capacitance hat is fitted and if overall coil dimensions are unchanged then loss in the coil is much smaller.
A more uniform current due to a top hat lessens the advantage of fitting the coil part-way up the antenna.

The hat was collected late Friday night (March 4) and a "small reward" was paid to the man that claimed he bought the hat from a transient for $50.00 on Hollywood Blvd. The reward was paid by BC Ethic, the company that does Slash's T-shirt line.
The hat was part of a marketing campaign where it was to be replicated and personally signed, for display with the release of the Slash line, a 15-piece collection of tees, knit tops and hats.
To be perfectly honest the loss of his hat was equal to the loss of dimebag.

 Movie Database - [TV Guide Online]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The fourth pairing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and the first with a screenplay written specifically for them, TOP HAT is the quintessential Astaire-Rogers musical, complete with a silly plot, romance, dapper outfits, art deco sets, and plenty of wonderful songs and dance numbers.
Set in London (though the story really unfolds in Hollywood's mythical Fred-and-Ginger-Land), TOP HAT's tale of mistaken identity concerns American song-and-dance man Jerry Travers (Astaire), who becomes as enamored of lovely Dale Tremont (Rogers) as she is of him.
Despite the problems it caused in filming, La Ginger was absolutely right about not changing the famous feathered dress--it does move beautifully, and she looks as light as a feather dancing in it.
