Pre-WWII Lead bricks and Post-WWII laboratory equipment

[Kay Jones <kayj@u.washington.edu>]

A radioecology lab at the University of Washington is being disassembled,
along with some vintage equipment and pre-WWII lead bricks.  The bricks,
approximately 1500 total, are in two large "caves".  The largest cave
(approximate outer dimensions 40" x "36" x 72") has a lining of cadmium,
copper and a material resembling paraffin, along with an iron frame and a
hydraulic drive system for the door.  The other cave is slightly narrower
and has a structural frame but no lining or hydraulic system.  There are
also some large NaI detectors, well counters , gas proportional counters,
an (unmaintained) GeLi detector with dewar, and a large number of surface
barrier detectors.  If you have interest in any of these materials, please
contact Kay Jones at the University of Washington (kayj@u.washington.edu)
for further discussion and specifics.

Thank you,
Kay
