RIT is giving up their massive Goss Sunday 2000 printing press. That could spell the end for the glossy, full page color Reporter mags RIT students enjoy on a weekly basis. Rumor has it that readership was down since yours truly graced the cover four years ago.

Mid Town, Rochester. NY. Donovan Wylie
My big boss called me today and begged me to stay in NYC for another month. Sorry, I’ll be back in the Fertile Crescent™ on May 16th.
Rochester had another fantastic surplus dealer, whose facilities were located in the tunnels beneath the then razed Rochester, NY railway station. The place actually had stalactites growing down from the ceiling, but contained an absolutely amazing variety of project surplus merchandise from Kodak, Bausch & Lomb, and others. This was the place for physicists, and I still own a CVC 3-inch oil diffusion pump and high-vacuum gate valve that I purchased there for satellite something like $10, plus a Sorensen 30-amp regulated d.c. power supply for $12! Touring the tunnels I recognized the ground reconstruction electronics for Lunar Orbiter, and even two complete Lunar Orbiter ‘Pigs’, plus a collection of optics surplus from various surveillance satellite programs. Not fast sellers, but still neat stuff!
Fact is, I consider Rochester, N.Y. to be the surplus capital of the world…

“Driving Park Avenue bridge and falls on Genesee River.”
This bridge was designed by Leffert L. Buck, who also designed the Williamsburg Bridge. The original Driving Park Avenue bridge was completed in 1890 and demolished in 1985 to make way for a new, albeit similar, one.
The large building on the left is the Eastman Kodak Hawkeye Plant.
