I stand corrected. But, doesn't he still hold the record for the most 
powerful TC? And considering the materials that he had to work with and the 
fact that he couldn't buy o-scopes and stuff at that time. I would think 
that with the technology that he had to work with at that time period; what 
he accomplished was totally awesome.  I am fascinated by all of it.
