[R-390] Grounds

[rbethman]

Yes sir!

I do "annual" maintenance checks.

Power Supplier and I have already had a go around.  Their ground had 
deteriorated VERY badly.  They tried to tell me that I had no idea WHAT 
I was talking about.

I got a supervisor, and finally convinced him.  They replaced it with 
another "puny" one.  They wanted to know WHAT I had brazed to it.  Had 
to educate them.

They took readings of my system.  Made them happy.
