Unless you're participating under two seperate accounts... ?
***Only a single account. I am Dennis O. and he is Will Matney.
And the point remains, that someone who believes that electrocution /
shock hazards will be mitigated by a slight change in mains frequency
evidences and distression, and potentially deadly, lack of understanding
of the basic facts of AC theory, and I was moved by a human concern for
his personal saftey.
BTW- is it possible for you to share URLs / Links / Citation to this
very useful data you refer to? It would help perhaps in an understanding
of these issues.
***I'd love to get a copy of it myself, but I'm afraid it was destroyed
along with the rest of the Western Electric Hawthorne Works on 22nd and Cicero
in Cicero, Illinois.
***I was a very young, (19 years old), Industrial Engineer still going to
college part time and I was digging through the buildings' data archives doing
some research on the famous (infamous) Hawthorne Studies (Experiments) in
Industrial Engineering when I accidently happened across the detailed notes of
those 'other' more gruesome Hawthorne studies. I took a quick look, was
grossed out, and went back to my original research, planning to someday go
back
and read the rest of the data, but I never did.
Most of which are (basically) covered in the various question pools for
modern Ham licences, no?
***Sorry, but I cannot help you... If I had the information I would share
it with you and the rest of the world, but I do not have it, cannot access it,
nor can I prove it ever even existed.
***Regards,
***Dennis O.
