Bill,
No, the Co. was Anaconda Electronics (a subsidiary of the big copper Co.)
Although the building changed hands long ago, I'll bet nobody took the time to suck that rod out!!
It was connected to a braided flat conductor equivalent to a 4/0 and grounded a large screen room (Faraday Cage).
(Same Co. had the first computer I ever hooked up, an IBM that took up a 20'x20' room, and didn't have the capabilities of a Palm Pilot)
