Houdini is scissored into the stocks, which are then placed inside this solid metal frame with ringlets. I concluded that the metal frame must be a stand-alone part. But if they were, the stocks wouldn't be able to "scissor" open (if you look closely, the metal frame crosses over the bottom of the hinge). I always presumed that the ringlets and metal frame were attached to the stocks. So my question is, if this is a working cell, how can the ringlets be built into the cell when the purpose of these ringlets is to lift the stocks? However, in examining the Radner cell, and, most critically, the burnt ruins in 1999, it's clear that the ringlets are built into this cell's superstructure. There are no ringlets attached to the cell itself. In photos, you can see Houdini hanging above the cell with ropes attached to these ringlets. Those four ringlets that extend out from the four corners near the top of the cell just below the stocks.clearly these are where the block and tackle attaches to hoist Houdini into the air. Okay, here's something that I noticed just last night (I've been driving my poor girlfriend crazy with WTC talk, so I will instead drive my fellow Genii-ites crazy :p ).
