Well, you don't want Hillman's chair, trust me. The EPA has identified it
as a Superfund site. All kinds of toxic waste..............

Re: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz The Question
Actually I was looking for a chair for a new lab we've just constructed.
You'll find my address at the bottom of the email.
The clue for me was in the two names. I remember our metallurgy lecturer
telling us that a couple of research scientists from the UKAEA once
[produced a paper on the differences between Niobium and Columbium.
Stuck in my mind for over thirty years.
