A Switch in Time...
A SEVERE shock was received by an Auckland lady recently when she attempted to move the loudspeaker of an electric set while the current was turned on, The current was so strong that she was unable to loosen her grip, and she was found writhing on the floor endeavouring to pull herself from the speaker. As soon as the current was switched off she was freed, but in addition to nervous shock she suffered from burned hands. She had been in the habit of moving the speaker from the sitting-room to the bedroom by means of a long insulated wire, and had done so hundreds of times previously without any accident. The «et was several years old, and had been converted into an electric one. The moral is obvious.
