Brian Wertz sheds some light on my humorous mobile
diagnosis on no brakes lights on Redcar;
> I believe you just met Bob Pease, a staff scientist at National.
>He has a regular column in _Electronic_Design_ magazine. Try

>the column. I believe that Bob carries a set of these signs around
>with him in his bug. If it was him, you were added to an annual tally
>of cars that he encounters without brake lights.
> He also lists a postal address to reach him at National, if you
>wish to inquire further...

And Scott Currier adds to it;
Bob Pease's regular article is called "Pease Porrige" You can find it
on page 93 of the August issue of Electronic Design.
Daren, Did the driver have a big beard and mustache? He (Bob Pease) will be
at the E.D. booth at IDEA/Wescon in San Francisco on September 28-30
(Moscone Center) if you want to identify him :-)
>>Yes the driver of the tatty beige bug that held up a
sign reading "YOU HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS" did have a big
bushy beard & mustache. Kinda looked like a woolly
Santa Claus. And no, I don't think I'll look him up at
Moscone Center. Instead I think I'll just make up a
sign that says "THANKS BOB, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FIXED
NOW" for the next time I drive the Sprite in. :-)
I thought I was stuck yesterday when I started
calling around for an original (screw terminal) brake
light switch for the Sprite, as every place I called
indicated the original style was expensive and
backordered (as opposed to the spade style which was
cheap & plentiful). I finally lucked onto a used one at
British Motorsports for a good price and now have a
borrowed Eezi-bleed sitting on my desk to do the job
right this weekend. Always something, but I wouldn't
have it any other way ..... ;-)
