[time-nuts] OXCO Issues -- Pictures

[Frederick Bray]

I now have pictures of the innards of the OXCO.  Unfortunately, the FTP 
site that I would normally upload them to isn't functioning today.

I will be happy to e-mail them directly to anyone who wants to see 
them.  I don't want to burden the list.

Fred
