[CAUT] Humidity Question

[Douglas Wood]

There is a nice, complicated chart with curves and such. I probably  
have a copy somewhere at home, but finding it is another matter.

But have you put a hygrometer on the parts in question? Can you leave  
it on the keys during an interesting time? One with a maximum and  
minimum function, I mean. A bit more direct than the calculations!  
Nothing like data...
