Tom,

        My guess is that I will have seen you personally in Gambier before
you open this.

        Just saying that the Mechanical Universe series (even the high
school reduction parts of which we use a lot) has the "dropping of hammer
and feather" segment from the moon.

        There may be other sources, but this is a good one.


                        See you soon,


                                        Ken
