@soliloquized Without your enlightening response, I would have never had the opportunity to learn anything about what a career as an Industrial Electrician required in both natural aptitude and extensive training.

Acting as the OSHA Train the Trainer Safety Rep for your operation, your research and classes probably saved employee lives. Unfortunately, most of us know what part politics at the top can play in careers. Kudos to you for your critical role in keeping employees safe.

For someone who is utterly illiterate in all things to with electrical, mechanical, or electronic functions, I sincerely appreciate your clarity of writing to someone as woefully unskilled as me. Thank you so much for the "virtual tour" and peek inside what would otherwise have remained a mystery and never explored opportunity.

It takes so many different wheels to keep our universe spinning and all too often, it has been far to easy to take for granted how each cog and each wheel must work together smoothly to create the finished product. Perhaps one of the lessons we will carry forward is a greater understanding of and appreciation for both the human and mechanical factors required for each to do its part.

It is heartening to hear from someone with a career in particle transfer that the precautions, whether masks or face coverings, that we lay people can use will help deflect the spread of the pandemic. Thank you.
