Any Value in These?
As happens so often, an unidentified gray-headed pilot-type dropped
off a box of aviation "stuff" the other day, knowing that we collect all things aviation-related. We usually end up displaying them *somewhere* in our aviation-themed hotel... This box, however, is quite different, being chock-full of techical books and doctoral studies, with titles like: "Engineering Aspects of Liquid Metals for Heat Transfer" (published by the Atomic Energy Commission, 1952) "Convection of Heat Transfer in a Vortex Flow Under Pressure" (published by Air Force Systems Command, 1962) "Analysis of Thermal-Protection Systems for Space-Vehicle Cryogenic-Propellant Tanks" (published by NASA, 1962) And so on. There are dozens of them! Does anyone *use* these anymore? Is there any value in them? I hate to just throw them away -- but does anyone want/need them? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

those things are worth 100's of thousands of dollars. Put um on ebay,
post a message for people to read sending them here,sell them and we can split the cash. Now that I think about it that one titlle" liquid metal for heat transfer" is worth a million... at least. ha ha ben haas

They're probably outdated, but a good rule of thumb is to never discard anything that can be put on eBay.

Is there any value in them? Do ducks go barefoot?? This is your chance to create another "aviation-theme" room--the Aerodynamicists Lair! Throw in some old slide rules and a Univac or two and you'll be in business. Guests must wear black-rimmed glasses held together with white tape, white shirt, and narrow tie. Oh, and white socks with black shoes.

A Univac would be about the size of the entire suite. Well, we've got two 2-story townhouse suites -- 1300 square feet each. I bet we can fit it! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
