ok! shall find it and scan it!
I seem to have lost the USB cable for the digital camera... but if you are
careful metal objects as this can be done on the old flat bed... I will cc
this  to the museum mail box so it will remind me in the morning.

I have some American interments that are similar... but this thing is metal
and  sortta massive.. As I mentioned before this is an area I really do not
know too much about...
