Mark P Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I've been told (by Kurt and Les) that the man who invented the GFCI would travel around to trade shows, set in a kiddie pool filled with water and have people throw radios in that were pluged into his invention, the GFCI.

Les Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Earl Roberts!!! Good guy, but don't let him near your wife! One of the nice guys that was always willing to share his knowledge and experience. Actually, the inventor was Professor Charles F Dalziel. Earl just developed it for USA and wrote books. The guys in the photo are likely from New England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I've seen that photo before. It's funny, but I suspect it was staged. That rig wouldn't last two minutes in there without something bad happening. Brian G. Then Again,You Never Know [:-dunce] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi, Sure it would, if it wasn't plugged in - you can't see where the plug is. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 That's what I'm thinking too. They set it up to make people gasp at the photo, but didn't plug it in. It looks halfway down in the water as it sits. One good wave from somebody moving would be the end if it were for real. Brian G.
