That's really interesting.  I understand that our tubes and bulbs get taken
to a recycler in Milton.  I think I'm going to put this on my "gotta
see this in action" list.

The first "saw it in action" item that I can remember was a tour
of Ford's Dearborn assembly operation.  I was 5/6/7 and we saw everything
from the blast furnaces making steel to the cars coming off the line.  IIRC
one of them didn't start and had to be pushed to a holding area.
