I worked in the Mercury room with a machine that was changed several times by the owner who has a PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Science from IIT-Kanpur. This is his company and his field of study. He has been at it since 1978 and still this newly designed machine of his never worked properly. If the doctor cannot build the machine to run properly, how does he expect someone without his vast knowledge to do the job? There are no blueprints or schematics for any of the machines in the building and the mercury room is not a safe place for anyone to work as the vacuum machines attached to the mercury machines disperse mercury directly into the breathable atmosphere.
