Hi again, Bart, all,

Yes, I have heard about that story, but I have to wonder if Charles could
have possibly gotten a "lemon" pig, since this is the only story of a "pig
killing" that I have ever heard from all the hundreds of coilers out there.
That time, several weeks ago, that I toured the Magnetic Electric transfor-
mer factory here in my hometown, they had several pigs sitting around
that had been returned by customers for various problems; so it is definite-
ly possible, though not likely, to get a "lemon":-(  How about it? Has any
other coiler (besides Charles Brush) killed a pig, in Tesla service, that is,
and is willing to admit it? :-O
