[Boatanchors] Globe Scout 40A

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

To get rid of any protusions or deposits on the plates, I recommend
using one of those new nail files the ladies use that are made of glass!
They are stiff and flat and will probably fit down into the plates and
get adjacent rotor and stator plates!
