Oh Ned. The 'Energy Dept' Showed up mid sixties to reclaim some motor generators on loan to the Physics Dept. in WWII. They were long since out of use and stored in the attic. After much work by some hefty guys, they were finally loaded on the Flatbed. The supervisor said on the way out, the reason we wanted them back was we ran out of copper for the windings and had to use silver! 1200 lbs 99.9% pure each. In a message dated 1/25/2016 3:10:46 P.M.
