Beryl, you are right about COSI, it was in Square Wheels.
The exhibit was extremely messy to maintain. It was at the St.Louis
Science Center in the mid 90's. The plex cylinders
were about 10' tall, too much oil.
I saw a good oil exhibit at Chicago's museum of sci. and industry. It was
put together by Hildebrandt, call at: 847-839-0850.
