You wonder how companies can afford to survive with things like that.
I was almost mugged for attempting to plug a guy's cord in during the
setup at COMDEX back in the '90s. Union guys went ape**** when I
pointed out the lack of connection and walked over to make it for the
vendor, like a nice guy. They made it clear that it was thea union
sparky's job and nobody else was "legally" allowed to do it. Scared
the **** out of me, it did. I tiptoed around the rest of the trip.
I never much liked unions, but I've really disliked them after that.
You don't carry a 'suicide cord' for those types?
I was surprised I didn't feel any garrotes that day. :-Q
A 'Suicide Cord' has an AC plug at one end, and alligator clips on
the other end. You let the union type connect it for you. ;-)
Similar to a "widowmaker" coed with male plug on both ends?
Somewhat, but it's easier to get a good connection with the
alligator clips. I still have a few new 'Muller 60' on hand.
