Back in my college days (60s), I worked as a pyrometer tech in a steel mill. These were still in use back then on some of the older lines. Most had 25 Hz AC drive motors, although there were a few clockwork-driven ones. Used as controllers on various furnaces. Pretty amazing that something with no electronics could take the signal from a thermocouple and control a big gas valve or damper.

the subway was still in existance when I was a kid. and being a kid I explored it. if the city used the money that we spent on the fast ferry to restore the subway our money would have been well spent. instead we filled it with dirt what a shame.

Does anyone know anyone who collects items from the Sterling Hotel? I have a long console table that was in the suite of A.J. Sordoni himself. The table is stamped property of A.J. Sordoni. Please contact me at cjohns1313@yahoo.com if anyone is interested.

That's not "PIOUS". It seems to be "FIOUS", but I don't think Latin had any -ous endings, just -us. It's not a P, though; compare the P in the next word, "PROT...". I also think the "IN VADES" might be "IN CADES", but I don't know which if either of those are words in Latin.
