Well in 1806 there was exactly one variety, S-270. Bill for research and attribution is in the mail. :)
Glass is your friend. Pretty much inert, watertight, gas impermeable,and doesn't corrode. And glass has already proved that it can survive over...
Interesting. In 1911 they left off DG and there was a big squawk and they had to put it back on. Here in the US they put IGWT on the edge of the...
