[tech] [committee] Minutes of Meeting 21st August 2009

[mitch at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au]

Further to this i have found a 240v Mains lead in the first rack  
(Closest to the window) taped to prevent shock using painters masking  
tape (now disintegrated)

It has been disconnected, The tape looks like its seen better days and  
crumples when touched.

As the terminals are spade plugs they are insulated with plastic,  
However one wrong move of someone could see them dead, Or the rack  
being electrified.
