Christmas day, and by the way, we're south of the way to where Shavogan is. 151 00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:08.980 I have to go quite a distance to work off all this dinner that I got that Luna gave us, including the dessert. 152 00:20:10.280 --> 00:20:12.860 And how many miles have I gone so far? 153 00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:18.200 Well, I've gone 10 miles an hour here. 154 00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:30.340 Gave a paper on fracture mechanics, which led to my getting some consulting work later on. 155 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.400 And Billy, I think Billy was there, and of course Mona was with me. 156 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:43.660 And we stayed at the DeRale apartments, free of charge on William Case. 157 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.620 Now it's the third, and we had a very good time. 158 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:54.680 And at the moment, I'm in my temporary new office at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, 159 00:20:55.580 --> 00:21:01.000 where I replaced one of the professors here who recently passed away of a heart attack. 160 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:16.700 Chicago, once again, at the McCormick Place, and this is the machine tool show for 1978. 161 00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:25.800 And here I am, William Stamets, also known as William K. Stamets, Jr., at McCormick Place at the show. 162 00:21:27.080 --> 00:21:33.520 I remember coming to this show in the 1940s with my father, William K. Stamets, 163 00:21:33.520 --> 00:21:37.280 who was a machine tool dealer in Pittsburgh, in Cleveland, 164 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:43.420 and at one time was president of this association, the American Machine Tool Distributors Association. 165 00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.400 I believe that was in 1932 or 33. 166 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.540 My son, William K. Stamets III, is here taking these pictures. 167 00:21:54.520 --> 00:21:59.620 Now this is the first toy that I have received since I was a little boy. 168 00:21:59.620 --> 00:22:08.740 And I'm really pleased with this. It's a steam engine, if you see, for a steam power plant. 169 00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:15.080 I hope to make 1,000 megawatts for this thing, if I find the secret. 170 00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:20.460 Oh boy, look at all these good parts. I wonder if it was made in Japan. 171 00:22:20.580 --> 00:22:25.080 Well, here's what it's going to look like. We have to erect this, Billy. It's supposed to look like this. 172 00:22:25.080 --> 00:22:30.580 I had one of these when I was a kid. It was a little different from this, but it's basically the same idea. 173 00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:36.320 Well, thank you Paul and Cruz for giving this to me. 174 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:44.200 I don't know whether Patty or Mother's included in this or not, but I guess she can have the boiler. 175 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:52.560 I'll let her be in charge of the boiler, and I'll be in charge of the power generation here. 176 00:22:52.560 --> 00:22:56.980 I don't know, a whole lot of parts. I can see there's going to be a problem. 177 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.720 It's going to take a while to erect this thing. 178 00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:14.320 This is the new boiler and power plant at Greendale, Wisconsin, called the Mona 1. 179 00:23:14.320 --> 00:23:25.620 This is the initial ceremony of lighting it off for its shakedown start-up operation. 180 00:23:29.560 --> 00:23:32.160 Make sure everything is in working order. 181 00:23:36.080 --> 00:23:40.820 Let me have that flashlight. I've got to check my firebox here. 182 00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:03.320 Hot dog, here we go. 183 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:09.660 Never mind, we can't waste steam right now. 184 00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:11.940 Wow! 185 00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:24.440 Now she's really going. 186 00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:06.100 Now it's pretty nice looking at all this. 187 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:18.340 ...December 28, 1979, revisiting Seattle and the Space Needle, which was a leftover from the World's Fair of 1962. 188 00:25:19.600 --> 00:25:24.140 And most of us were here at that time. John and Billy were quite little then. 189 00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:41.140 Oh, it's going cold. 190 00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:42.500 It's cold. 191 00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:42.500 192 00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:52.200 Which way? 193 00:26:00.600 --> 00:26:04.700 It was right in there. And this whole thing was to our machinery company. 194 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:19.540 Oh, I missed the camera. 195 00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:20.280 Have you got it? 196 00:26:45.020 --> 00:26:49.000 Oh, I missed the camera.
