That could be me taken 10 years ago Tim, even the bald scalp sticking out of the top of the helmet matches up. I did a lot of stainless steel vessel work, both pressureised and non pressureised, it kept food on the Casa del Firko table for 30 odd years. Sometimes I'd like to be back doing that work again but I don't want to move to China to find work at my age.

Mark, the pic was taken at CERN. What ever it is it's (clearly) a vacuum vessel but it's too big to be a beam line. Anyway I just love the workmanship and can drool over the welds for hours.
