While we're on this trip down memory lane...
Borries could have greatly excited the more politically correct among
us (if any) by giving the full '...like a woman..' quote from the Model
E instruction poster. When I was a doctoral student we had a (female)
postdoc who repeatedly hid the poster as it gave her some form of
ants-in-the pants, although, strangely enough, some kind person always
managed to find it and hang it back on the wall. I still have a (framed)
copy. I've also got some of the original Beckman advertising literature
for the Model E hidden away in the archives, along with early
instruction manuals. If anyone is interested in any of this. I'd be
happy to try and find it and make it available.
All the best to all
Richard
