<div>Blueprints for the 1938 RCA Empire State TV antenna discovered at

<div>Is it unusual to have these?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>They were in a file box with the Brookhaven
Cyclotron Blueprints.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>they have been probably folded up since '38 I need to 'relax'
the paper </div>
<div>but in the meantime have been transferred to the banks vault in
