[GreenKeys] Teletype Fires

[Lancashire, Pete]

sad to say, this was  VERY hot fire. Lets just say it burned faster then
it would have if the fire was only from the contents I placed in =
storeage, in
an outbuilding built just for this purpose. The building was on rental =
property
and had been broken into and was being used for 'purposes other then
storage'.
=20
To give an idea of the heat in the less then 30 minutes the fire was =
able to do
its work, an aluminum aircraft engine had mostly melted to a blob of =
over 100#'s
of metal.
=20
In the teletye, 35, things like the steel 'aircraft' cable that moved =
the type block, had burned
through, and stacks of manuals had burned 3-4 inches inward.
=20
Sorry for the sorid details, but to everyone on the list make sure you =
have good photos
and full replacement on your stuff, and make sure full replacement =
covers out buildings.

If there is anything left of the 37s or the 12 we would like to have
the parts for our museum.
