Part 3/5:
As a part of this fundraising effort, Bob presents a unique opportunity for contributors: the auction of an exclusive piece of memorabilia known as the dog bone. This one-of-a-kind item, crafted from castable alumina, features an inconel coil supported by copper, designed to ensure durability. The core is made from high-density alumina, which is crucial for the proper temperature measurements in experiments.
A Journey Around the World
The dog's bone is not just a tool; it carries a story. Having toured various international locations, including Padua and Stockholm, it has been held by numerous notable figures in the scientific community, including Tom Darden. This historical context adds to the item’s value and allure for potential bidders.
