"How the heck did that happen?" Injuries

When I went to Navy Electronics "A" school at Treasure Island (68) they wasted no time in starting us down the "safety" road, especially as lots of gear back then still used vacuum tubes and high voltage. RADAR of course is worse yet, with as much as 5-10 KV in a CRT display, and 25K in some transmitter-modulators

Anyhow, "on a break" a guy from Detroit "Grote" (like to find him again) was showing us he wore his watch on his RIGHT wrist.............because..........he had a big SCAR on his LEFT wrist.

He'd been working on a car with a (then new) alternator, and got a Spidel watch band between the alternator output stud and ground.........welded the watch band and his wrist together, right then and there.
