It had two intended uses. A way to kill a bench if someone was being shocked or something was arching, and to turn off everything when the bench wasn't being used. They were mounted on the ends of the benches, where there was nothing to block access. My shop has each light fixture on its own switch, so all the tools and test equipment are powered down when I leave and turn out the lights. All of these are switched by the main door, so they are easy to get to. > This is similar to the General Electric switches we used back in the '60s.

I certainly needed one of them back in 1980 when I worked for Allen Wright Electronics, in Sydney. Many times when I arrived, the was somebody at my bench using all my stuff and refusing to leave. We had a physical fight one morning when I had to pull the stubborn idiot out of my seat. His name was Joe Rasmussen, the boss was Allen Wright. You can Google their names. Both were Scientologist - I was not. Explains a great deal ... .... Phil |
