		| Abstract: | 
		The 1988 paper by Lyne and Manchester (LM88) analysed the existing pulsar
 mean-pulse profile data and drew various conclusions about the shape
 of pulsar radio beams and the emission processes that underlie
 them. In this paper I review some of the main conclusions of LM88,
 particularly relating to the idea of “patchy” beams, and discuss the
 impact of more recent data on these conclusions. |
