[Thursday] Steam Up

[Chris Prata]

I also agree that yesterday went very well!

I was able to attend one of Ernie's full presentations, and some of the Fitchburg and some of the Corliss as well.

I'd like to transcribe what is presented for all the major exhibits and create an outline as well as a timeline for future presenters, steam and wireless.

May have mentioned that recently I spent an afternoon with a very experienced retired radio and TV technician (regarding resurrecting a TRF set I picked up)  who had a wealth of information about how equipment was made going all the way back to the turn of the century what it was used for what the norms were, just a ton of interesting and fascinating details.

For example how those softy soft headset wires were made and how to terminate them is a topic in itself.

Wish I had taken notes.

But that kind of information, properly documented not only keeps it from getting lost but then can comprise a nice organized menu of topics including how much time each topic may take.

Maybe it's just my IBM Data Center experience but it's very helpful to have presentation topics documented in an organized way for future staff, and possibly even including citations for any visiting researchers.
