Good one Kevin...Don't know...but isn't it a Conundrum? Things are a little slow in Ontario, but by the sounds of this, you guys are swatting flies in winter. I'll give that some thought...though.;-) -Ed- Ed Gaidies Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada Servicing the Consumer Electronic Industry since 1963 teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2004 5:29 PM To: TECH-ASSIST Subject: [TechAssist] A question about fans and switches Here is a question for a slow Saturday afternoon: Why do all consumer fans have a 4-position switch that starts off with OFF, and then HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW? I would have thought the order would have been off, low, medium, and high. An automatic transmission in a car doesn't start in high, it starts in low. Just wondering.
