In these situations it's best to marvel at the wonders of paid
employment, but it's not easy to do as a graduate!

But they're still in business so it shows how bad things can get
without being terminal.

What was the application? It sounds like it was designed for
retrofitting if there was no provision for a separate mains feed to
the circuit. Not easy to power a circuit from both sides of a relay
alone.


The controls were electronic equivalents of a standard bimetallic
thermostat so they had to be retrofittable to an existing circuit and
would not confuse a plumber who was not an electrician.

Hmmm, begs the question, why have an electronic equivalent of a
standard thermostat, or was there something else to it.

cheers,
Pete.
