Hey Charles, When I was a "frameman" (oops, make that "frame attendant") in the Alameda Central Office, had exactly the same type of "shock". Air conditioning had broken, we were in t-shirts, about 90+ degrees in the CO on a summers day and sweating. Reaching through the frame from the equipment side hit someone who was ringing and became a human bell clapper for about 20-30 seconds. All this at the top of a rolling ladder. My fellow employees and myself got a laugh out of it (me later). Actually happened a few times over my 27 year career. At least I'm not unique in that sense. Thanks for sharing...... Eric KA6USJ Eric, In my days as a Frame Ape, I got across one of the Darned Gov't special circuits that had a lot more than ring voltage on it. Only once though, I can still remember the special warning tags they hadon the lines at all the blocks, and like you Iwas at the top of the ladder when it happened. And oh yes I also got bit by ring more than once. Remember the way we found shorts? Bill Higdon |
