Here is a good article describing the differences.

There seems to be a discrepancy in the above referenced article, or I'm just 
confused. The section entitled 'Know your flares' says "British cars have a 
bubble flare (aka Girling flare)..." But then later in that section it says 
'then you have the more familiar double flare used by Girling...' 

My question is: Is the Girling flare the bubble flare or the double flare, or 
am I missing something (which is probably the case, since I know nothing 
about flares)?
