3492. In the warehouse was every sort of imaginable wrecked
and destroyed old machinery and metal objects in huge piles. Everything was
sorted not by its original name, but by the material it happened to have been
made out of.
3493. There was a huge pile of cast iron radiators, another
pile of motorcycles with parts missing, refrigerators with their doors torn
off, not three or four but hundreds. Then there was a pile of sinks and bathtubs
and from a distance many of then looked usable until one got near them and saw
that they were all stained and smashed beyond repair.
3494. In one section all by itself was a mountain of
aluminum siding, torn from the walls of a thousand houses and yet, peaking out
of the mass here and there one saw canoes, since some canoes are made of
aluminum.
3495. Copper wiring was in a separate section stored in
giant triple walled cardboard boxes, and mixed in with the copper wire were car
radiators, and flashing from the roofs of old buildings long ago torn down,
from back in the age when copper was used on roofs.
