Econet Bridge
Used to connect two Econet segments together. An Econet Bridge is capable of automatically learning a simple network topology and selectively forwarding packets from one LAN segment to the other using a simple routing table based on the contents of the network byte in the Econet packet.
The Econet Bridge is unique among the cheese wedge expansions, in that it is a stand-alone device that does not require a BBC computer to operate.

Dance o’er my lady lee,
London Bridge is broken down,
With a gay lady.
How shall we build it up again?
Dance o’er my lady lee,”
