Gaskell Topic: 6 Session: oral Abstract: I propose a new model of wavelength-dependent continuum delays in AGNs which quantitatively reproduces the delays, the detailed wavelength dependences, and colour hysteresis, and which avoids all of the problems with the "lamp post" model. The model also explains how the delays vary with epoch of observation.
