Bob,

Very good point. Now that I think about it...in all of
the physics classes and electrical classes, current
flowed from negative to positive. Of course my
electronic classes were just the opposite of that...I
think the electronics professors were just a little
confused. :o))
In the world of LUCAS, current doesn't flow to
ground...it flows to "Short" aka a floating
ground...doesn't matter if it's on the positive side
or the negative side. :o)))
