Two Rectangles, Vertical Gyrotory Up, Variation III (Chrinitoid @ RPI)

I was tripping down memory lane and dug out some photos from RPI. Here is a fairly
good one of the Chrinitoid I took graduation weekend 1986. Okay, it was taken with one of those cheap-ass Kodak Disc cameras, but hey, there aren’t may photos of it.

The Chrinitoid has been found!

In this current Renesselaer (still RPI to me!) Alumni magazine, the current location of the George Rickey Chrinitoid has been found!

Tom Payne (’86) tracked it down to Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) found it is on public display in Zurich. It was so cool to watch on windy days. Those huge slabs were the size of a small car and could really get whipping around. Check out the animation on Tom’s site.

I wonder how much it would cost to buy it back? Any rich RPI’ers out there?
