Many readers will have been involved in the sometimes painful
activity of moving laboratory equipment from one location to another. That
elevator door that is just an inch too narrow being a favourite. Spare a
thought for the scientists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island
NY who are moving a 15 ton, 50-foot-wide electromagnet 3,200 miles over land
and sea to its new home at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in
Illinois. The month long land and sea journey will take the magnet around the
tip of Florida and up the Mississippi, Illinois and Des Plaines rivers to
Illinois. You can follow the journey via this link.
