Nice drawing! Makes it clearer. I'll check it out later if it doesn't hit
over 100 degrees again today...if not, Friday is supposed to be in the
mid-70's (makes working outside SO much nicer!)

Earth, eh? In 1976 I had a Volvo 1800ES 'estate wagon', based on the
p1800E sports car. Cool little wagon.

The Tach said "Smiths" above the needle mount and "Negative Earth" below
it. It wasn't until a couple years later when I went to Electronics school
that it finally hit me it meant Negative GROUND!

But I thought it was so cool that we named our band Negative Earth...
