Ah, OK. Thanks.

Well, I did have one other theory; perhaps he was thinking about his vacation?

Looks like the disco switch handle is in the down position but can't tell the contact position.

Are you sure that isn't Joe of a (quite ) a few years ago ?

No --- Not Me Glenn!

How in the heck are you doing? Any proposals sent in for the 2005 ROP?

PS: I scanned the picture above from a January 1958 IAEI News Bulletin. I was only 18 years old then.

I wanted to show that this type of stuff shows violations and unrecognized practices, even in today's magazines that show violations.

For 1958, that musta' been that new-fangled TW wire. Probably a bakelite base in the switch, too. No more cloth-covered RW or slate! {I woulda' been a little punk asking a whole bunch of dumb questions.}

Well...THIS makes it much clearer!!! It's from an ad! [Linked Image]

The man is a model, not an electrician.

The entire set-up here was designed by a photographer's crew from an ad agency, not electrical contractors or engineers.

The photog tells the model how to pose....then +kaPOOF+ picture taken (easy on the flash-powder here).

What was that other picture of anti-short bushings for BX being used incorrectly? It was also from an ad for those little things.

That cap he's wearing is just an engineer's cap, how many do you want?
I wear one everyday.
