AM towers are interesting. The tower itself *IS* the antenna. So that's why they need to isolate the electrical for the lights completely.
Or skanks....What a great way to pay for stuff at the liquor store!
Yes it does. But looks like it was made by Lyman Metal Products in Norwalk, Conn around 1960. Probably not too many around anymore.I don't think I want one that bad. Looks like a 'Made in Hong Kong' item.
... lately at Saint Christophers, where it came in that fearefull and unresistable fury, on the fifth day of August last, 1638. Where, although that the Dutch and English had warning of the comming of it, by the knowledge that the Indians had by observation of the Moone and the Circles, and that all possible meanes, was used for the safeguard of men, ships, and goods, yet when it came, the force of it was so great, and continued so vehemently the space of foure dayes and nights without intermission, that maugre all the industry that could be, it sunke five Shipps, whereof two were English, and three were Dutch; and of Englishmen, Dutchmen, and Indians, it did drowne and kill to the number of Seventy and five persons, besides the harme it did to many Houses and goods.
Where the Here- or Hurri- Cano comes, the Winde doth blow so strong and forcible, that it will puffe men from the ground into the Aire five or sixe foote high, as if they were no more but ragges, clouts, or feathers; and so violent it is, that it leaves not a leaſe upon any Bough or Tree: and likewise it overthroweth many Trees, rending, them up by the roots, so that the Inhabitants ( when they are warned of the comming of the Hurri Cano by the Circles about the Moone) they doe lop off the Iimbes and great heads off from the Trees, because the violent and outragious Tempest of the tempestuous Windes shall have the lesse force and power to overturne them; and especially those Trees which they doe intend to preserve and keepe for bearing of ſruite, they doe commonly cut off, and graffe them againe by our Engish advice.
" The People all of them forsake their Houses, as not daring to remaine in them for feare that they should be blown down about their eares: at which dangerous times they do creep for safety into holes, Caves, pits, Dens, and hollow places of the earth, which are either natural of themselves, or digged and framed by Art or laborious industry of man, which places are good harbours and defences against the Hurry-Cano.
They doe likewise tye or make fast Hamakoes (hammocks) or hanging Cabin, unto two Trees that are lopped, and then the people do get into those Cabins, & so they do lye downe in them, being hang'd above the ground sixe or seaven foot, eyther with strong Ropes or iron chaines; and so they swing two and againe like a Bell when it is rung, when this tempest is; their Hamackoes are made either of coarse lining cloth, or of strong stuffe made of twisted threads spun out of the rindes of trees; some who have not these Cabins, do for feare bind themselves with cords, singlely or severally to divers trees, and so they do remaine bound untill the fury of the Hurry-Cano is past.
And this is the true relation of the nature and quality of it, and also partly of the harmes which it did in the month of August last past."
Well, there goes Luxembourg, Andorra, Liechtenstein. Oh the humanity.They use a 24 bit integer?

Once in awhile, I have to take a step back from understanding, as a geek, how things work, and just admire the futuristic reality we're all living in...4K smartphone cameras, AI everywhere, you can stream just about any book, song, or movie to your device like magic, and then all of this crazy stuff:
