Ken, as I read your story about the recorder I kept getting an image of you, the recorder, and the letters in a segment of PBS' Antiques Road Show. ;-)

PPS - On the other hand, I do have a piece of equipment of historical significance. I was ordered to empty another bone-yard and throw its contents in the trash at UT-Knoxville. In that room, I found a very crude-looking cumulative recorder which I salvaged. (Technically, it went into the trash and then I climbed into the dumpster and retrieved it. Retrieving items from dumpsters was a fear I overcame as a money-less undergrad.) I had snail-mail exchanges with both Skinner and the people at Ralph Gerbrands about the device. The recorder appears to be one of the batch of the original 50 recorders made by Gerbrands. Skinner wrote me that he didn't even have one to send to the Smithsonian. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
