Thanks.
My grandpa worked at bell all his life as well.
My father would tell me a story about this exact scene. It was at the bell-aerospace days, basically their summer party.
My dad was very young, he would tell me that they would do demonstrations like this at all the summer parties, and he told me about this one in detail.
Its freaky to see photos of it. Thanks for them, i’ll pass them along to my dad.

Not a very package friendly design.
Damn engineering used to be fucking cool.
