Hi Antonio,

I asked around and Bill Lemieux knew ;-))

  Looks awfully defunct now, judging from those pictures.  Not
surprising, given the state of the economy of there.  I'll bet that
whole site is contaminated with PCB's.

  I expect this is probably the "huge spark" picture you saw:

  However, it is not clear that the impulse generator (I only assume
that's what it is) in the new pictures is the same one as in the old
pictures - the scale would appear to be different, and the number of
field equalization / anti-corona rings is definitely different.
