Re: [BKARTS] Use of Airbrush for Restoration

["J. J. Foncannon" <bolu.bolu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the airbrush for artificially aging endpapers, too.  Takes a bit of practice, and one has to experiment to get the
painting medium right (I use dilute acrylics), but it does do a beautiful job.

	Rabi and Kusch, the former and current chairman of the department [at Columbia University] came into my office...."You
should stop the work you are doing. You know it's not going to work.  We know it's not going to work. You're wasting
money.  Just stop!"
	Llewelyn H. Thomas, a noted Columbia theorist, told me that the maser flatly could not, due to basic physics
principles, provide a pure frequency with the performance I predicted.  So certain was he that he more or less refused
to listen to my explanations. After it did work, he just stopped talking to me.
