    Anyone know what this weird box is?

    I have been following this thread with interest - a few questions : JohnD - what makes you say it looks like 415V? The three fuses/breaker or the rating on the fuse carriers? How can it be "a more fatal shock"? You mean a greater chance of a fatal shock me thinks. OP - where does the smaller...

    Aerial Diplexing

    Thanks chaps, Sam, my issue is that grid decombiners take up 2 gangs of the grid plate. I think I will have to adopt the suck it and see approach. Ta again.

    Aerial Diplexing

    This may interest some of you guys: http://www.channel5.com/shows/police-interceptors/episodes/episode-8-498 The piece starts at about 14mins & the exhibit is soon after 16min 30secs. Two things grabbed me - one quite ingenious, the other a bit crazy. See what you think.
