BIG News Flash
Peru 8 Aug 2005
The administrator of the Berkshire Insulator Gallery
(BIG) today announced that the main display area has been substantially
completed. Finishing touches are
expected to be completed this week. The
display area includes not only the cataloged suspension insulators but also
some other items that are yet to be added to the catalog. These include a multiple bell Pinco suspension insulator, many substation posts, and
several lightning arresters.
The remaining insulators that did not make the main
display have been moved to the Berkshire Insulator Gallery Demonstration And Display Development Yard (BIGDADDY). This area should provide safe storage out of
the way of the grounds crew and opens back up the herb garden that had been the
temporary storage area. Now that all the
spare insulators are safely out of the way the staff is expected to get started
on construction of yard art examples for display. The yard art construction is expected to be
done in the Berkshire Insulator Gallery Maintenance And
Manufacturing Area (BIGMAMA) which is also the home of the BIG IT department
and grounds crew.
Unfortunately the first step of the
administrator’s funding plan failed when the first visitor forgot to bring
their checkbook. Further thought is
being given to problem and it is hoped that a solution will be developed
shortly. The IT department’s efforts to
raise funds by selling off some used computers have been doing well. This effort is expected to continue at a
local flea market later this month. The
construction crew is hoping that this helps make more room in the BIGMAMA.
