Of  course, this makes it even funnier that when Sea-Land wanted to run

There is a long and interesting story behind, in which I was involved back  
in '84-'85, along with several others. Much had to do with Croxton---
 
Other issue: Tangent gons:The loads are 50 cal rounds, which we fired from  
our tanks in '75 or so. The mfr card on the box (Lake City Arsenal) says 
made in  '53. These would be a little too big for my DL&W "Buffalo Gun", which 
is 14"  or about 350mm.
