"Superconductivity is a magic potion, an elixir to rejuvenate old accelerators and open new vistas for the future."

Physics Today, October 1977. |
Workers in 1980 assembled the �Fermilab Kit�
for making superconducting wire: a copper can filled with 2,100 niobium-titanium rods
in hexagonal copper tubes, capped with a tail piece and a nose piece. |
