Caption CERN Contest Week 17

Week 17: 5/27/2015 - 9pm PDT 6/3/2015

Coils, gleaming metal, giant domes, now this is a proper mad scientist image! The CERN scientists in this image seem to be working on a large metal device of some sort. It definitely looks like an electrode which would be at home either at CERN or the well equipped home lab of one Dr. Frankenstein's. We don't have a caption, but we do have a rough date of August, 1961. What is happening in this image? Are these scientists setting up an experiment, or plotting world domination?

You tell us!

This week we're giving away a Logic Pirate from The Hackaday Store.

Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this contest log, not on the contest itself.

As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.

Good Luck!

As soon as we install the optics, we can point this baby at the moon and slice off a piece, once and for all proving that it IS made of cheese.

While Bill and Tim were busy making adjustments to the "Giant Hole", Bob was tying their shoe laces to the ladder rungs. What a prankster!
