I just received a touching and heartfelt email from Mark Phillips that I
wanted to share with list members that Mark didn't feel were as special.

Hi Guys
Can someone (Bob) please confirm that a Honeywell switch designated 2TL1-2G
is 'locked' in the off position

The "G" configuration is free to move between the
mid and anti-keyway position but will fall into
a locking detent if moved to the keyway side. Extraction
from the keyway side requires the operator to pull
up on the spring loaded cap before the switch can
be moved. You will note that a "G" switch is the same
as an "F" switch except that the locking detent is
on the anti-keyway side.
Referring to the 2-position order guide we see that
the -2 switch is a 4-terminal device with no contacts
closed when the handle is in the keyway position. So
yes, it is locked-off.
Now, you could order a -3, 6-terminal On-On switch.
This configuration gives you the option of wiring
for the locked position to be OFF, or some alternate
ON function. Further, depending on supplier stock
for the switch, you can use either a "F" or "G" locking
configuration in a -3 switch by turing the switch over
in the mounting hole.

It's an unfortunate human shortcoming that the
interpretation of spirit and intent for the
written (and often the spoken) word can be so
far off the mark.
Another decidedly human characteristic is a
willingness to be insulted . . . whether or not the
speaker/writer is intending to be hurtful.
Many of you will recall some years ago that a participant
here on the list suggested that I was "too easily
insulted" or some such. I had to remind him that
he did not have my permission to be insulting.
His words were either informative or constructively
persuasive whereupon they were worthy of everyone's
attention . . . or they were intended to bring
discomfort in which case they could simply be discounted
or ignored. In other words, it is up to the listener/
reader to decide how much intellectual/emotional
capital is to be expended on the exposition of others.
In retrospect, it was easy to see how the series
of replies morphed from useful exchanges of information
into sand and tomato throwing contests between
individuals who made choices to be insulted. I am
certain that this outcome was an unhappy surprise
for Ferg.
If Mark is still tracking the List, I would encourage
him to take command of his capital accounts. Becoming
a participant in hurtful exchanges (for correctly or
incorrectly perceived reasons) is a tax on the
soul . . . a tax that any of us in a state of
individual and communal liberty can choose not to pay.
We have useful and pleasurable business to conduct
here on the List that is demanding of our time,
talents and resources. Let us strive to make it
an investment with a good return . . . as opposed
to a tax.
The key is simple . . . we can choose not to allow
anyone to insult us. By so doing we avoid imposing
any sort of political correctness upon List
participants . . . which stultifies intelligent
conversation.
Bob . . .

I learn so much from this list. Usually it's about pushing and pulling
electrons around. Sometimes, I get a vocab word.

Now I just have to figure out how to use it in a meeting today...

| Subject: | Harbor Freight Hydraulic Crimper |
HFT sent me a 20% off coupon with no limit on sale items so I treated myself
to one of their Hydraulic Crimping Tools (part no 66150) for $39.95. When I
got it home I was surprised at how small the crimping dies were. I'm not
sure they're sized for the wire, much less the connector.
The picture shows the AWG 4 dies with an Amp # 4 connector.
Does anyone have experience using this tool? I'd like to hear from you
before I make up my mind whether to keep the tool or not.

Go ahead and put a terminal onto a 4AWG wire
and see what it looks like. I might have you send
me the installed terminal and I'll slice it open
for microscopic examination. How many die sets
come with the tool?

Did you check out the reviews on the website?
http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html
One reviewer suggested that the dies remind him more
of tools for installing wire-rope fittings than for
copper wire. Other folks have reported good results
but universal disappointment on the squash-ears that
result from having too much copper in the mash-up.
Put some terminals on an enlighten us with your
own perceptions.

FWIW my EL lights are powered through the homemade analog dimmer circuit
on the aeroelectric pages and there is no noise evident at any
brightness. I think the circuit used a LM317 regulator.
