Google has a very open attitude with their employees and follow the old mantra that a happy employee is a productive employee. They even allow employees to spend something like 10-20% of their time on their own pet projects while on the clock. They are so popular now that they recently designed a custom algorithm to weed down the 100,000+ applications they get a year by trying to determine if they will fit in Google's culture before even bothering to look at their qualifications.

Google has a very >open attitude with their employees and follow the old mantra that a >happy employee is a productive employee. Thanks! Very useful data. About a year ago a survey was circulated around the department that stated, "We're trying to attract fresh engineering talent to Wichita and to the company. On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is it that . . ." Then followed with some inane items like: Wichita have a symphony orchestra? Wichita have a good bus system? The questions went on like that for a time before ending up with . . . "How important is it that the prospective employee have interesting and exciting work to do?" Well duh . . . I hope we didn't pay this company more than $10 to conduct this sophomoric piece of work. I wrote about two pages of critical review on the real issues for talent acquisition and retention and pasted it into the little comments box at the bottom of the survey. Don't know if anyone in the company ever saw it. The writing style was certainly identifiable as words coming from me. Never heard a peep about the outcome of the survey or my mini-dissertation on human resources management. Some days I think I'm in the Twilight Zone when perfectly serious folks make judgements and assign $high$ tasks that are completely detached from logical assembly of simple-ideas!

There's been a lot of conversation on the List recently and your inquiry moved a long way up the IN box . . . Sure . . . first, as I mentioned in another posting earlier, the vast majority of shielding called out in various drawings probably contributes nothing of electrical value in the typical small aircraft installation. This is because there are VERY few noise sources that propagate chiefly by electrostatic coupling . . . which is the form of firewall provided by shielding. I also confessed to using a lot of shielded wire as a convenience for quick-n-dirty multiple-conductor signal pathways in a bundle. I've got multi-thousand foot spools of single, twisted pair and twisted trio on the rack. If I need a trio for some task, I'm quite likely to grab a hunk of shielded than to build my own length of twisted wires. So, having confessed to all that, know that your suggestion for not taking the shields up the stick is a sound one but not for the reason you've guessed. It's not that the shielding is really useful but that it mostly likely doesn't matter. ------------- < CAUTION > ------------- When installing a system wherein the instructions CALL OUT shielded wire, don't use this mini-dissertation to justify dumping shields unless you have a strong understanding of what those wires do an what the risks might be for electro- static noise ingress. All the LED annunicator fixtures I supply are wired with shielded wire as a fabrication convenience. See pages 10 and 11 of: http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/lvwarn/LVWarn-ABMM.pdf As I mentioned above, it's EASY to use shielded wire whether or not the shield is necessary . . . but it can be damned difficult to pull the new shielded wire in later. I've offered these words as enlightenment to the realities of shielding, not as a general recommendation to ignore the callouts on manufacturer's installation instructions.

The least expensive and most reliable means by which you can share the airplane's external antenna with a hand held is to route the COMM antenna cable through the cockpit such that a pair of connectors . . . http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Connectors/crimpcf.jpg http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Connectors/s605cm.jpg come together within easy reach of the pilot. Coil up some excess length on the ANTENNA SIDE pigtail and make sure this piece of coax has the cable male connector on it. If the panel mounted radio becomes unavailable to you, open this joint and bring the antenna pigtail up to the hand held. You'll also find it useful to use TWO right angle adapters . . . http://tinyurl.com/2u3qzy . . . on the end of this pigtail. The coax can now pass up the back side of your hand held and make a 180-degree u-turn to mate with the radio's BNC connector at the top.

Today's 'smart managers' (or at least the ones in control who think they are) believe the smart people shouldn't be working for the company. They should be off creating start-ups. The company will buy the start-up once it has produced a successful product. This avoids that whole messy issue of having to understand the business you're in or what it is you're making. That stuff doesn't fit easily on a spreadsheet or in a slide show, you know. Much better to have expensive lunches wheeling and dealing, where you talk about people as interchangeable 'resources', whether they be a seasoned engineer or a Chinese subsistance farmer. -- ,|"|"|, Ernest Christley | ----===<{{(oQo)}}>===---- Dyke Delta Builder | o| d |o http://ernest.isa-geek.org | ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 07:57:42 AM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: 8awg line to forrest of tabs From: "Eric M. Jones" Discussions with some customers resulted in the following tales: 1) Battery in the tail of a metal-skinned aircraft. Battery positive is to contactor and fatwire going forward. Battery negative is to the airframe. Aircraft structure is riveted double epoxy coated aluminum sheets. Big engine. 200A ground current. Scares me Bubela. Are the rivets getting hot? 2) Purchased aircraft had ground to metal airframe. New owner installed separate ground wires, one to ground everything in the left and right wings, one to the tail loads, one to the panel. Now he has amazing instrument deflections when various loads are energized. These tales are illustrations that ground currents are just like any other currents. I mention this because familiarity with automobile electrics where the steel chassis carries the ground currents often lead builders to ignore this essential point. Furthermore grounds are often grouped together or wired to "common" ground busses without much regard to the voltage drops caused by large ground currents flowing through them. Often many loads will attach their ground connections to a smaller ground bus, often buried in the panel right under sensitive instruments. This needs rethinking. You wouldn't put a positive high-current conductor there...!? I agree with the "forest of tabs" approach and I suggest that the idea of other "ground busses" etc. needs some careful thinking to take grouped ground currents into consideration.

Point well taken sir . . . and I'm pleased that you were able to get the job done. I mentioned earlier that my most cherished teacher died a few months before I relocated him after a long period of isolation. There were many things I would have wished to share with him . . . not the least of which was my appreciation for how he influenced my life. I attempted to assuage my guilt for ignoring him so long by relating my story to his widow. I've not thought about this for years and it took some digging to find the file which I'll share with my friends here on the List. http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/comentary/Ed_Fistor.pdf Please use this posting as a demonstration and strong suggestion that if you have a story to share with a cherished teacher, don't put it off lest the only interested listener become his/her survivors.
