[GreenKeys] sneak peek of the secret project

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Very good...  yea  the mech is  cool and  very  inspiring to  young 
minds...  want  to clear  case  one  of  ours too!   The  15   is probably the   
most interesting!?

Yes, there is a nice black crinkle bat-cover, which will be in place for  
demos to the kids.   The cover was off for the initial demo to Kim,  since 
watching the M15 mechanism is so very cool.  


The cover-off problem is not the snagging a finger issue as much as the  
high voltage on the terminal strip.


I have considered making a plastic cover for an M15, and John Nagle's  
stuff is inspiring, but I don't want to try working with a brass  skeleton.  I 
am thinking of a wood skeleton though, with plastic sheets  retained in 
routed grooves.  A nice cherry, or mahogany perhaps, finished  with a dozen coats 
of highly-polished tung oil...

gotta love it!  This is  COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Glad to see  people  putting their tty skills   to  use  for the good of 
mankind!
 
one  comment though  with the open mech  just a  little  afraid  some   kid 
 will want to feel the  mechanism....  and snag  goes the  finger.....
 
A  clear  Lucite  housing in order perhaps?!
 
I  have to worry about  stuff  like this at the   SMECC museums  well as   
any of  our offsite   displays  as  well...

Hey folks:


Commissioner Gordon has authorized a limited amount of secret project  
information to be leaked to the press.


News flash:  Bat-Tronics Industries, a division of _baudot.net_ 
(http://baudot.net/) , has just delivered a Teletype Model 15 to  the batcave.  The 
Bat-Teletype will enhance batcave communications in  the fight against evil.



Bruce Wayne, a prominent Phoenix businessman, has for years been  providing 
special days for terminally-ill children by inviting them to  take a ride 
in his batmobile with a parent at the wheel.  More  recently, he has been 
exhaustively re-creating the batcave at an  industrial park in Phoenix.  Kids 
now enter into Mr. Wayne's study,  lift open the Shakespeare head, press the 
big button, and the bookcase  slides open.  Entering through the bookcase 
and sliding down the pole  they arrive at the batcave, which has more vintage 
electronics than I do  (and I have a lot).  Next to all the vital batcave 
equipment, the  batmobile sits on a rotating platform.  Adjacent to the cave 
is Mr.  Wayne's car collection.  As I understand it, over a hundred kids have 
 been through the bat-experience.  Sadly, not all of the children are  
still with us, but their spirits fill the cavernous batcave.  The  full story

The attached pics:

- Mr. Wayne's assistant Kim prints out the first official batcave  
communique
- Gil's mom Minnie assists with the delivery



Stay tuned for the next episode...
