Duhhhh!!!

Not Duct Detectors!  Whoops!


It's true what I said about duct smokes..

What I meant to say in the elevator recall case is that the code use
to require a recall of all cars to the first floor, unless the fire
was detected on it.   Otherwise the cars shall go to an alternate.

this was on a general alarm.  They amended the code sometime in 1999
(I think) to require smokes (or addressable equivalent)  to control
the recall, rather than a general alarm relay.

You know, it's the old glass box at the
At the gas station,
Where you're using those little things
Trying to pick up the prize,
And you can't find it.

It's-

And it's all these arms are going down in there,
And so you keep dropping it
And picking it up again and moving it,

But-

Some of you are probably too young to remember those
Those glass boxes,

But-

But they used to have them
At all the gas stations
When I was a kid.
