[Collins] Grounding attachments S-1 line

[Jim Brannigan]

I don't own a S-1 line, so I was surprised at the request.  The S3 line,
KWM, etc, all clearly show a ground connection on the "station interconnect"
page of the manual.
So, I looked into the CCA archives for the S-1 manuals and sure e'nuf there
is no ground connection indicated!
There are no photographs of the back of the radios, so I can't determine if
there is a ground connection there.

If they were my radios, I would add a grounding screw to the power supply
for safety sake.  Look at a manual for the later S-lines for the location.
You can either drill and tap for a screw as shown or use a screw, nut and
wingnut. The same for the transmitter, receiver and station console.
The primary purpose of grounding is HV safety and to provide a short RF
path.  It is not a substitute for proper lightning protection.
