Gridtie, breaking grounded conductor [RE-wrenches]

Hi Chris,
I think it is thermonuclear fusion power.....

In the late '60s a friend was working on the Dupont film base plant in 
New Jersey, They had the static cages etc. and the sparks to go with 
it.  While working on the film slitters, the static disappeared!  And 
never came back! Several weeks of research discovered that the janitor 
had changed to a different product for the mop solution. The new soap 
had a staticide as part of the solution, it was the mop solution on the 
floors that drained away the static charge. When I was MIS manager for a 
small wholesaler, I specified carpet cleaning treatment that included 
the staticide, it is an upgrade to the Chem Dry process, to reduce the 
risk of static discharge harming my hardware and data. I get a staticide 
from Office Max to treat my wife's car to reduce static discharge which 
is annoying to her. I suspect your could use the product to pretreat an 
area in which you will be servicing these types of modules.

Keep on building great equipment
