[Amps] Water cooled amp question

[Will Matney]

Didn't think it went back that far. However, that Dupont plant has been there ever since dirt too. The 1940's was a guess but the more I remember, seems like that actually fired up back during WWI maybe or before as the town of Dupont is an old one. Along the Kanawaha river which goes through Charleston, WV. and dumps into the Ohio river, is where "chemical valley" sprang up. During the Civil War, places like Nitro, WV. sprang up making explosives and there all along that river. South Charleston was the home of Union Carbide, and we all remember Baupal India. Forgive the spelling on Baupal. Every 1-2 miles up there are large chemical plants and where a lot of the ordinance plants once were. The Kanawaha dumps out in the Ohio river about 40 miles above my house. Then, the Ohio is a stones throw away (be fishing in it in 10 minutes). That's the very reason nobody can eat any fish out of the rivers here. This has me curious now, I'll have to do some history work.
