Re: Amazing coincidences



Thursday a "new" machine arrvied at the museum. It required a crane to
unload it. The crane that we finagled the use of was a 20- to 30-year-old
model, and a fairly rare one for its type. As this was going on, I was
sorting equipment literature in the Archives, and found a file on that exact
crane as the guys outside were using it.

Best wishes,
