Chuck, et.al.
Years ago as a GE service engineer, I moved a 2T 30 cm horizontal bore Oxford at field, about a block between buildings, on a flat bed truck with a suspension hoist rigged in middle to suspend the magnet, avoiding any horizontal jolt that might break or move the fiberglas support rods between radiation shields and keep the magnet horizontal. I suspended a transparent pail of water with the magnet and told the several helpers "Don't splash the water". Tricky, but worked fine. I agree with Lew Cary's conditions. Hi, Lew.
