   Thanks… it was with very low light so I had to improvise a tripod-like brace for the iPhone. Oh, before we got in trouble for entering the radiation zone (the whole building required special security access).

   I did some tours of the Bevatron in Berkeley before it was demolished. So much fun.

   Very cool. Love the revised Emergency Shutoff. In case you’re interested, my map of SLAC is here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/amapple/7336041070/in/set-721576022...
