  • Abstract
    Recently, I drove out the Tyler Street Extension in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, to view the ongoing demolition of Building 9 in the former General Electric Company (GE) plant. Building 9 once had been a world-renowned center of high-voltage and lightning research. It was named the GE High Voltage Laboratory and was commonly referred to as ?The Lab.?
