BS: Can you just give me examples of exhibits that you can remember or labels that you can remember.
ER: Certainly. I can remember - the Impossible Triangle as the entrance. And I can remember looking up to the video camera. Not the camera, the monitor. That you could see as you walked in through the triangle. I can remember "Tin Sort(?)" which is an exhibit which isn't on the floor here, currently, but I saw it yesterday in the workshop so it's it's still around. I can remember Arch Bridge very clearly. I can remember sitting down, building it, and my dad telling me that that was the keystone and the keystone had to go in last. I can remember standing on it. I can remember the TV "be a news reader." Which was a room where there was a desk and a video camera and you read the news and the weather and all sorts of things and it recorded and you could watch it back. I can remember the label. The one label that I really remember was from a rope light exhibit. There was this rope light. Seems really simple and,for an adult it's almost "why, why have they got that as an exhibit." But it looked to a child as if the light was travelling down the rope. And it said, you know, sit down put your hand either side. Is the light moving or is it just flashing on and off? And you could see quite clearly that it was just flashing on and off. But when you didn't have your hands on it - it looked as though the light was moving. So that's the label - that I remember very clearly. I can also remember something that's called - I know now is called the "(Cladney) Plates." I didn't know then. They were metal - sheets on big poles that with sand on the top and with a violin or a cello bow you rub the plates, up and down, and it sets up vibrations in the metal. And then you get different patterns - don't know have you seen it?
BS: No.
ER: You get different patterns where the vibrations bounce the sand off some areas and it channels them into other areas. I can remember that quite clearly. I can remember the hologram, which is the same hologram we've got in the low light area now. And that was as you go up the stairs so it was in the corner - as you went up the stairs. In quite a dark area. I can remember - there was one area, I'm sure this is the same memory. Sorry I'm tapping the table, it's probably ruining your microphone. Where they made you eat blue baked beans. Or they were coloured baked beans and it was a survey to see whether - whether they tasted the same - if they were different colours. Sure that was something. So quite a lot of - very clear memories for a 9 year old. So it must've made an impression. Yeah. Anything else? Probably, but it'll come to me.
BS: That's ok
ER: Not straight off my head.
