6.5 Power Supply Conduit

This is a suspicious looking little box with a large switch and a funny looking plug, located on the north wall of the commons right between the two entrances to the grub room.

There has always been a lock on the switch which you will need to convince F&H to unlock for you. The last I knew, the key required was designated ``12B-4'' you can refer to it as that or as the circuit breaker key to the F&H people.

This plug will supply all your power needs with a 240V 3 phase supply, and lots and lots of amps. Don't worry you need all the power you can get. The one thing which would be nice would be a place to attach a grounding wire. Right now all of the equipment you are about to put up is entirely ungrounded. If we had somewhere to attach a grounding wire life would be super. I'll explain when we get to the mini-coffins where one would attach a grounding wire if one were available.
