But I couldn't find it, and it was just such a perfect pic for this story...<br /><br />Whoever owns this pic, get in touch so I can credit you or take it down if you don't want me to use it. But thanks for the awesome image.<br /><br />BTW, Pat John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-41718165271706557692011-02-18T08:48:45.223-08:002011-02-18T08:48:45.223-08:00By the way, where did you find that really cool pi...By the way, where did you find that really cool picture of the lower part of the torture cell?

I'm not at home so I can't update/correct the story. Please pass the word. Sorry about this.

I'm assuming this IS the Copperfield cell, it's just being trusted to John to make arrangements, transport, etc. But Joan only said it was coming from John, even when I asked her after the talk.
