take too long to figure out that that h1~ater was
on one line, both heaters, and that we'd had a
single point failure.
And as a mat ter- of - fact we

Conrad
I t was very straight forward to throw the switches
and look at the amp meter to see whethe:c you were
getting anything out. There was no dou·:it in my
mi nd that it had burned out and the sam,= daml
thing with the thrusters. When we finally decided
we had a problem with them we went through the
ci rcuit breakers just like we did in th= trainer
and it was obvious that number 7 was out and 8
went out and then the rest of them started getting sour.
So, I think that all the training we had we were pretty
well prepared.
