Yo! inventors!!!
Okay inventors, here's an idea that is needed. And it will be easy. All I
ask is to send me one for free for the idea. I recently bought an American Rotary phase convertor. It has a push button on and off switch. My building is 100' long, and I am constantly walking back and forth to my phase convertor to turn it off and on, sometimes for only for a few seconds. How about a nice wireless car door type on-off switch that could be carried on your belt or pocket? I thought about mounting a couple of car doors, with the up-down push button pointing at the switch, but I'm sure there's an easier way! (just kidding). After I get my free one, send me a post card from the Bahama's when you get rich from my idea! Dixon |

You can even buy the plug in version from Wal~Mart if you like. Comes with a SMALL on/off rocker remote. It switches a 110 load of up to 10 amps. Just use a contactor rated for your load and switch it with the remote. -- Steve W. |

Ropes, levers and pulleys made it possible to turn the light on or off from either doorway. Which reminds me of a cartoon I saw once, of a guy sitting on a scaffolding, in the middle of his living room, reading the paper under a single bare light bulb. His wife is telling a neighbor: "He's not good at electricity, but he's a pretty good carpenter." |

If it does you should be able to control it with a big contactor. If it needs a button push to restart it's more complicated. |

When electrical power first became available in our area (1948) there were a number of "electricians" competing for the business of wiring houses for people who had never had electricity. One particular "electrician" was cheaper than all the rest - his version of an electrical service consisted of a 30A. fused disconnect feeding a four circuit fuse panel from a two wire 120V. drop. Stairway lighting was controlled by a long string on the pull chain of a keyed lampholder. Needless to say, when the owners started to discover the convenience of electrical appliances, they soon found out what a "bargain" they had got in their wiring job. Electrical inspection became much more stringent and several inspectors "retired" Gerry :-)} London, Canada |

Electrical inspection became much more stringent and several inspectors "retired" When they rewired the house I grew up in, my dad gave me the old wire and fusebox The incoming wire was cloth insulated, about 12 or 10 gauge. The "fusebox" was a 2 pole knife switch with 2 integral plug fuses. No branch circuits or fuses and no ground anywhere. This would have been early 60's. |
