Sorry to see this happen, Mike.  Your specific company history posts have great detail, in short, you put a great deal of focus into collecting data and images alone. 

A number of the advertisements Mike shares come from web accessed old newspaper he pays for out of pocket. Some of these advertisements shared are from a circa we cannot access due to Google book full read cut off. 

Some of his advertisements and images come from years of sleuthing through the web and saving to file. Priceless.

I agree 100%; I think this goes without saying, at least for anyone who's been here a minute...

@Mike Kearns, I expected it was temporary, or would have reported it.

If it helps the tech people, on 14 December I commented on this post, quoting the image from one of the later comments on the post, asking about the diameter of the small Roto-Beam pedestal base:  https://new.afcaforum.com/index.php?/topic/1595-roto-beam-corporation-chicago-illinois-1933-to-1953/#comment-10573

Good luck!

Peoples wanted me to "clean up" something like this a few months back. Not quite this bad, but almost. Still up and running to this day.

I'd like to offer a very special thanks to magician Jamie Horner for making the Roto-Beam history re-appear! I'm much obliged, Jamie, thank you very much!!
