I am really fascinated by that newspaper clipping. It was obviously put in that antenna coil can by an employee when the can was either manufactured or installed in that 116B. But why? Was it placed there as a joke or a 'note in the bottle' type of thing waiting to be discovered by future generations? Or was it to provide some insulation to prevent the lugs of the trimmer caps from shorting against the sides of the can? I guess we will probably never know.
