	I remember this story from before - always interesting - and almost the
same as you told it the first time!  I have a photo of 1776 (ex-1616)
with a pretzel pole - looks like it is a pattern for making ocean waves
for a movie backdrop  --  wave after wave after wave.  Shopman is taking
it around the loop track at SHJ and is apparently getting back into the
car after replacing the pole  --  probably for the umpteenth time!

	From the way Ken posed his question, I believe he is aware that all the
gear underneath a PCC is contained.  He was just wondering if any of
those containers might be warm enough to cause steam!
