The record
A section given by Daimler-Benz to Bill Gates in February 1996 and kept at Microsoft's conference centre.
A section held at the Microsoft Conference Center on the company's Redmond campus. It is among the small group of records in this catalogue in corporate rather than public hands, which is also the group whose current status is hardest to check: nothing obliges a company to say where an object has been moved to, or whether it is still there.
