Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Thanks. Is this your old haunting ground?
[link|http://maps.google.com/maps?q=lawrence+berkeley+laboratory,+berkeley+california&ll=37.876979,-122.250034&spn=0.003677,0.007135&t=h&num=10&start=0&hl=en|Google Maps]. The one with the brown roof (upper left) or the one with the, um, nipple, on the lower right?

I think Joe also did some work at SLAC, but I haven't been able to document that yet. I've little doubt that it was all before your time - he went East in the '50s.

Cheers,
Scott.
New {snerfl}
WOW! - damn near down to the {ghost of my} Citro\ufffdn in the tiny parking lot.
Amazing the techno- which we now {yawn} not-even-Notice, what with instant satiation. Jaded, We (when not being insufferable, too).

Eerie ... those road names
and to know the bodies that go with them all.
('Course I'ze got a whole town: Ashton-under-Lyne IIRC ;-)

Yup, brown roof er Brown-roof :-0
Grand Vista of entire SF Bay Area, 3 bridges - from atop that roof!
(Where there were vents for stuff like Liq. Hydrogen targets n'such)
Would occasionally have the Shrammsberg and a goodie-basket from Narsai's *** up there. Once with SO. Lovely..

But it's dead, Jim.
Bevatron bought It (or rather - could no longer pay-for It) in '93.
No more Medical Cave for heavy-ion irradiation of tumored-folk: of the unique precision whereby [Bragg Peak] one could peel an orange, without harming either the inner pulp or the outer skin.

Priorities. You could build a new brewery or stadium for ..

Thanks for the mammary (Oh - that tit-thingie appears to be atop the 88" cyclotron)
Maybe - by now - a surveillance camera kiosk for Fatherland Security?
- 88" a much later, cleverer machine than the hoary First Big 'accelerator': the 184" Cyclotron. Not sure even, if that building still stands.

Ernest Orlando Lawrence pretty much started the rush
(with acolyte Livingston et al spreading physics-fever even to the Rust Belt) etc.

[There's yer one-line history of particle accelerators in the world]

New ad some hair to this picture, slim down the jawline

                                     No accounting for taste, I guess. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (46)
                                         Look what happened to that "perfectly good airplane" -NT - (tuberculosis) - (45)
                                             Who said it was "perfectly good"? It was FBW donchaknow. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (44)
                                                 Is that really so much less reliable than FBM? - (tuberculosis) - (43)
                                                     Um, it would have been nice to FBM on these. - (mmoffitt) - (42)
                                                         What the intent behind FBW? - (admin) - (41)
                                                             A few things - (tuberculosis) - (15)
                                                                 Interesting. - (admin)

                                                                                 Thanks. Is this your old haunting ground? - (Another Scott) - (2)
                                                                                     {snerfl} - (Ashton) - (1)
                                                                                         ad some hair to this picture, slim down the jawline - (boxley)
                                                                     not as much fun as picturing ground zero nuclear - (boxley)
                                                             Doesn't FBW mean - (imqwerky) - (4)
                                                                 FBW == Fly By Wire. HTH! -NT - (jb4) - (3)
                                                                     I know... :-D - (imqwerky) - (2)
                                                                         Let's examine the entrails a little more. - (Another Scott) - (1)
                                                                             I stand, er, sit corrected! :-P -NT - (imqwerky)
                                                             It's mostly a philosophical thing with me. </smirk> - (mmoffitt) - (19)
                                                                 I think this argues for better FBW actually - (tuberculosis) - (18)
                                                                     I agree. - (Another Scott)
                                                                     Say what? - (mmoffitt) - (16)
                                                                         What "trained pilot"? - (jb4) - (1)
                                                                             Doh! </me slaps self on forehead> - (mmoffitt)
                                                                         My guess - (tuberculosis) - (13)

                                                                                 You're so much more succinct that I am. - (tuberculosis)
                                                                             Then why do Boeing FBW aircraft *all* have "off" switches? - (mmoffitt) - (10)
                                                                                 Probably the pilots demanded them. - (Andrew Grygus) - (4)
                                                                                     I always like this one. - (mmoffitt) - (2)
                                                                                         But at Mach 3, you'll get found REAL fast.... - (jb4) - (1)
                                                                                             Or 3 states away from where you're supposed to be. ;0) -NT - (mmoffitt)
                                                                                     As goes chess ---> so goes 'piloting'___[???] (new thread) - (Ashton)
                                                                                 IIRC, depends on aircraft design - (tonytib) - (4)
                                                                                     Actually, it won't be the USAF/USN that are the first to... - (CRConrad) - (3)
                                                                                         Guess the F117 doesn't count? -NT - (drewk) - (2)
                                                                                             Which first flew in 1977. -NT - (pwhysall)
                                                                                             Live and learn. I only knew it was butt-ugly. ;-) -NT - (CRConrad)
                             Very possible to have lunch - (bepatient) - (10)

                                             Got any links? Will follow up. -NT - (bepatient) - (3)
                                                 Here's a couple. - (mmoffitt) - (2)
                                                     I know there's support for this - (bepatient) - (1)
                                                         I don't think its that far off. - (mmoffitt)
                                 Do tell! - (rcareaga) - (2)
                                     Dunno about him, but a girl I worked with did it this way. - (mmoffitt)
