Thanks! The boys can set a course through the wormhole to Elk Grove Village, Illinois. (aptly named since elk live in a forest preserve grove near here)
They can give us a hand with our continuous improvement projects and hourly coffee making/testing.

Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Answer

Here is the Element Quiz Question

The Question:
This element is never found in its pure form in nature. It is estimated that 75% of this element known sources are found in China but it can also be found in Nebraska. The discoverer's of this element named this element by a specific name but we use the Swedish word for "heavy stone" for the official name thus causing lots of confusion. Which element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is tungsten (W)! Brothers Don Juan Jose de Elhuyar and Don Fausto de Elhuyar successfully isolated tungsten in 1783 and named the element "wolframite" but about the same time the element was called "tung sten" meaning "heavy stone" in Swedish. So the Periodic Table uses "W" for the element symbol of tungsten! Tungsten has a melting temperature over 3400C so its one of the few metals that can glow white when heated without melting which makes it great as a filament for light bulbs.

The winner of the quiz will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The Rockwell Collins firewall time stamp shows Ravinder Ajmani, Western Digital and Ron Feyereisen, SigmaTron Intl. both provided the correct answer at the same time so they will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios.
