Fifties Nuclear Stuff

[Silencer]

I found this site while surfing, you might want to visit it for some nuclear science-related equipment, as well as a number of posters and fun gadgets from the 50's.

Dude, that's starting to get really annoying.

Rly.

Awesome!

Gotta love the "Canadian Mounties VS. Atomic Invaders" poster.

Sincerely,

My favourite section is Monitors and Scalers. Haven't a clue what a Scaler is though.

Check out the "American Nuclear Ray-D-Tec Model 100" in the Personnel Monitors/Alarming Dosimeters section. Perhaps this is where they got the Vault-Tec name from?

Isn't a scaler a determination device for measuring the weight of physical bodies?

Eh, Atomic Cafe is from 1982, not 1952. Great film, though.

 

[Silencer]

Indeed. I corrected the description, the Museum site had it wrong. Thanks.

Which reminds me... where did I put that bloody VHS?

...

Wait...

FUCK! I've trashed my TV set and VHS recorder a few weeks ago.

If my life would be any fuller of Morissettean irony, I could make it a webcomic!

Nice find. I especially like the movie posters.
