yes live working was the norm then , trice for degreasing yep , dis boards with no cover on the live bit and at 550 vac :zap:

we used to clean the DC 220 vdc bus bars live bare hands :zap: , open front slate switch panels and open frame rotary converters

Know the room. Been in there for odd reasons.

My hang out was on the Mezzanine floor, with the ... er ... whatever they did/or were ... :scratch:

Never went in the other pubs, seem to remember a fairly edible steak pie/chips in the Oddies.

I worked for Masstor Systems Inc. Our kit was where you went in the main systems hall.

3 pairs of somewhat anonymous white boxes, with vertical windows where you could watch the accessor nipping up and down.
( if you were desparate for something to do )

I would probably recognise faces, can't remember names too well.

For some reason I can remember Noel, one of the sleuths on the gate .. dunno why.

Nope, wrong ones. They were the StorageTek Silos. With a telly on the things.

Mine ran parallel to the 'main drag'. Come through the doors, walk straight on, on your immediate left.

Table near them with the printers etc. on.

Going a bit :offtopic: :offtopic: aren't we ??
