[TCML] 10KW Tesla, Interview with last glassblower from the famous Pressler firm



http://www.electrotherapymuseum.com/WhatsNew2015A.htm

Some more pics and updates.  Wolfgang Linschmann is the last glass blower of the firm Otto Pressler,
which was a company that made Geissler and Crookes tubes during Tesla's time (even Tesla tubes).
He is in his 80s and still making tubes even with many physical ailments.  An amazing man indeed!

He describes Otto Pressler testing each X-Ray tube with his own hand...something that killed nearly all 
early glassblowers...
