Why did the ancient ones test Otis Touch Buttons with a rag or handkerchief on their finger?

Cause 1000 cycle B0 and B+ will knock fire out of your butt laugh

Remove the tenite cover from the touch tube detector and touch it. Or touch a can in the car panel. You'll get it after that.

Now where's the pic? smile

to make sure the conductivity of the circuit was sufficient. had to set the tube to fire thru the rag and your body, cause some people have higher resistance to ground then others. Ill send you the pic if I'm right Broke

You got it Vator Gator!!!

I did pretty good in those circuits till the inevitable 1st hit. Then that little bit of shake in your hands would start. After about the 4th hit or so. I had to walk away to calm down to try it again.

Wouldn't enough juice to really hurt you, but you would hurt yourself getting away from it. smile

Vatorgator is close. But no cigar.

A hint. We are talking about the late 40s on into the early 60s.

Women used to wear gloves, they needed to make sure that the button would work properly with typical attire.
