Ah, the vacuum tube test.  I was more interested in actual terminal
velocities.  That part was much tougher.  It's got my curiousity, since
some folk were talking about the dangers of falling bullets and such.
Personally, I suspect it's strongly overblown.  And was going to do some
math to find out if it actually was or not.  But when you start trying
to figure in the body shapes and such, well, I decided I wasn't all that
interested after all.
