Toa Norik: #This cache has been archived by a Swedish reviewer#

Hej JonLin!

För ett tag informerade vi dig om att allt inte verkade stå rätt till med din cache och bad dig då ta reda på hur det stod till, samt åtgärda eventuella problem. Då det inte syns några tecken på att du gjort det, kommer jag nu att arkivera din cache.

Jag ber dig plocka in ev. rester av din cache så att de inte ligger kvar och skräpar ner.

Hälsningar
Toa Norik, reviewer

Geocache Description:



You do not need to visit the building at the coordinates above to find the cache.


Bällsta Eau
On both sides of Bällstaviken and Bällstaån, around Bällsta Bro, there used to be an abundance of factories and other
industrial sites.
The last few years many of the older constructions have been torn down, and new modern apartment buildings are being built instead.

At least two of the old buildings have been kept this far: "Elverket" near GC1YGQZ,
and the old factory building at the coordinates above, close to GC1JYV6.

The factory at the start coordinates was built in 1899. Although it was initially built to process leather (by tanning), it was converted in 1905 to produce a totally different type of products.
The most famous one that was actually manufactured here is the key to finding the cache.
Let X be that product, and calculate the final coordinates according to this formula:
N 59º 21.(X/7+69)' E 017º 57.(X/7-213)'

Some facts about X:
- It's the original.
- It's tattooed on Frank-N-Furter's leg in the movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" from 1975. (Not to be confused with the "Boss" tattoo on his shoulder).
- It's traditionally used by some oldschool programmers to indicate an arbitrary large, indeterminate but specific, number.

The cache is a nano, hidden in a spot along Bällstaån (rather close to a few other caches) from where you can still observe both industrial and residential buildings.
Bring your own pencil.
