Enjoy the waterfront area of Lilla Essingen with a quick little multi.
A little history:
"Most of the island was initially an industrial area:... in 1908, the manufacturing facilities of Lux, a company manufacturing lamps for lighthouses, were moved to Lilla Essingen. The initial complex was composed of a workshop and an office building, the latter still present at the edge of the newly-built flats. In 1912, the manufacturing was extended to include vacuum cleaners... In 1919, the company was merged with AB Elektro-Mekaniska, creating today's Electrolux.
... A lot of Electroluxs main production facilities in Sweden were composed in the factory on Lilla Essingen. Almost the entire complex dating from the late 1930s was built in the by then modern architecture composed of a lot of red brick. A few of those facades are still present, incorporated in the modern architecture of today.
In the 90s, Electrolux stirred quite a bit of a debate when it filed a request to rebuild a lot of its industrial areas. Considering the immense changes in mechanics and industry since the 1940s, the workshops were obviously outdated. " (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilla_Essingen)
Multi-cache:
1- Count the number of "Ankarslut" (the part of the construction that achors the iron in the masonry) on the front face of the building, showing the address of Primusgatan 116. This is X.
2- Count the number of window openings on the second floor of the building side facing the water. This is Y.
AAA = X*Y*10-50
BBB = X*X*Y+X
Final cache location:
N 59° 19.AAA, E 018° 00.BBB
Enjoy a walk past the beautiful old brick buildings to find the cache, then back along the water for the view.

Lite historia:
"Sedan början av 1900-talet dominerades ön av två stora industrier; Primus fabriker som bland annat tillverkade det berömda portabla fotogenköket "Primus" och AB Lux fabriker som tillverkade "Luxlampan" och dammsugare. ...
AB Lux fabriker (sedermera Electrolux) expanderade verksamheten på Lilla Essingen fram till 1960-talet. Electrolux hade på slutet kvar lager, kontor och viss utveckling innan man lämnade ön i slutet av 1990-talet. Industribebyggelsen revs till större delen och ersattes av bostäder under åren 2000-2007." (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilla_Essingen)
