[TUHS] bell labs murray hill artifacts

[James Johnston via TUHS]

When Lucent took over MH, the museum in the front was scattered to the
wind. I have no idea what happened to the Stowkowsky (sp?) recordings, the
"first talking movie" recording, artificial larynx, and the like.  I know
that the leadership regarded them as "stuck in the past" and ripped stuff
out wholesale. After the 1996 split, I was no longer welcome at MH, so I
can't say much more about anything inside the security zone.
