In July of either 1929 or 1930 (the last year of the [[strike]] of the men of the mind), Dr. Stadler found himself at a remote location in [[Iowa]], ostensibly to attend a demonstration. But he had not even been told ''what'' would be demonstrated. His first clue came when a reporter asked him about his role in the recently completed "[[Project X]]." Immediately Stadler rushed to Floyd Ferris' side and demanded to know what Project X was all about. Ferris replied cryptically that he would find out soon enough.

And find out he did. [[Mr. Thompson]], the [[President of the United States]], was also at the demonstration, as were several other senior Administration officials and Members of Congress. They made the first speeches, and announced the completion of a new device that they called the "Thompson Harmonizer," named after the President.
