That's some power gang John. I trust the trip switch (fuse?) is working! :)

DRIFT ON

Your power gang got me to look up the price of such on Amazon and, Google, being what it is brought up this New Zealand Maori Bikey Black Power Gang...

Forget Queequeg, imagine getting this guy as your cell mate for a day! Jesus wept. @-)

Ah well, that's what it is all about Laddie!

There is one computer with super powerful graphics, 6 vdus, numerous lights, auto pilot, comms panel, overhead panel, engine instruments panel, GPS, cup holder stirrers, ventilation fans, controls for the power seats and such like. Not a great electrical load but if they were all turned on at once the lights across town would dim and the penstocks would knock at Benmore hydro plant.

So this little buggery-box turns everything on in sequence and when it comes times to close the museum and the lights go off it sends a little message to central thinking center to tidy things away and to shut down in an orderly fashion.

That's culture, not so bad on the lads but the girls can get carried away with the ink!

Ah, power sequencing, a good plan. You sound like you have a very slick system operating there.

For a museum we really do need automatic start-up and a tidy shut down, this little box of tricks does it all.

Yeah, Nah all good GG, can handle teasing! Ha! :)

'Yeah, Nah', a particular phrase around these parts, admittedly an aberration of the language but understood far and wide around here....)
