<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 2155845, member: 33176&quot;]Gotta tell the story...I knew the glassblower at the Univ. of KY while I was there and he was talking about a friend who worked for the government as a glassblower.&nbsp; Many times glassblowers have to repair glassware that has a Pt wire connection.&nbsp; They have to pull the wire out and it is often too hard to replace since it is such a short bit.&nbsp; The government glassblower decided he should keep a small spool of Pt wire on-hand, so he ordered some of 0.01 mm diameter.&nbsp; As to how much, he looked at a small spool of Cu wire and decided 1/4 pound would be enough.&nbsp; Several weeks after ordering, he was wondering why it hadn&#039;t come in so he called the factory.&nbsp; They told him they had put on an extra shift and had his order half done, only about a mile more to go.&nbsp; True or not?&nbsp; Don&#039;t know but it was told to me as true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
