196.0. "A Glow Under Glass" by LOOKUP::JTHOMPSON () Wed Jan 17 1990 15:35

    Announcing a new exhibit at the Maynard Public Library
    that might be of interest to Digital folks
    
    Title:  A Glow Under Glass
    
    Description:
    
    A restrospective history of vacumm tubes and a look at how
    this technology influneced our lives
    
    Sample tubes:
    
    Late style DeForest auditron
    World War II magnetron
    
    and an unusal assortment of minature tubes
    
    
    My husband put this exhibit together and it starts today.
    It is my hope that this will generated some much needed
    positive attention to the library - maybe a Beacon article?
    
    I was very upset to see a mention of a possibilty (maybe remote)
    but a possibility of closing the library.  Maybe it is because
    I was once a librarian but all the same WHAT A STUPID AREA!
    
    Anyway, please go visit it if this subject area interests you.
