Malcolm, all

Thanks for posting these photo`s.

It is my opinion that they, together with the other photo`s of Golka`s 
coils posted lately, will serve to establish respect for Mr. Golka`s name 
and acheivements.

The word "Crank" used to pop up in my mind when hearing Golka`s name. Now I 
respond from an awestruck position.

What a sad thing it is, that there is such bad blod btwn. him and his 
conpemporarys. My wish is that there may be forgivenes for the sole sake of 
the involved parties.

And this puts me in the odd position, as to claim, that mr. Gerald G. 
Jampolsky`s litle book "Forgiveness" is Tesla related reading.

To forgive is not to accept og support the actions of the forgiven, but to 
get peace of mind  of the forgiving.


Cheers, Finn Hammer
