stuff is History, and it shouldn't be thrown out. It needs a

In Canada unless Charlie Fox has his groups project up and running in
Windsor , K. Stumph of Unusual systems in Kitchener-Waterloo was the only
museum project existant , however I believe it has recently closed. See

My feelers on this subject for Toronto have not engendered any response to
present. I will be contacting the above and the Ontario Science Centre in the
light of keeping things like this in the country. Anyone local on the list
interested ?
