I'm quite sure that the TCZ-1 and TCZ-2 power supplies were intended to be 
olted to the deck, not on top of a desk or table.  If a catalog says that, 
homever wrote the catalog entry was misinformed.
I don't have any personal experience with 16"-50's but 5"-38's when firing 
ive a very sharp rap that tends to break incandescent lamps off in their 
ockets.

 I noticed that.  Using a standard 30" tall desk, that would put the ATC 
 up somewhere above eye level.  They must have had taller sailors back 
 then...heh, heh...

 There is an outstanding book called "Aircraft Carrier" by J Bryan III , 
 about his life on the Yorktown during the war.   He was on board a 
 battleship or two during his service and the shock of those 16" rifles 
 going off wasn't too bad - they sort of built up slowly and surrounded 
 you.  On the other hand, I seem to recall him saying something to the 
 effect that he hated the 5" guns when they started firing because the 
 shock "would hit him like a plank".  I can imagine what it did to 
 electronic items.
