<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Ric and all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Well, I showed these pictures to our
head piano professor who immediately informed the Director of Music here.
He has been petitioning the powers that be, but I think this evidence
has put a fire under his rear end. Let's hope I don't need to call
hasmat!</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Meanwhile, I'll try at least to put
in a DC. It has a pretty long, thick cover. Anything will help if
even only a small bit.... There won't be any complaints about cords
hanging about, but I will have to train people to leave it plugged in.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">When I have breaking news, I'll let
you know....film at 11</font>

<br><font size=2><tt>I agree Jim. Like I said at the outset. There
is no way a DC system is <br>
going to help significantly given these kinds of conditions. For
<br>
crimminy sakes... theres a storm front in the room ! The pics are
<br>
amazing. Really, this should be shown to health, fire and safety
<br>
officials. Thats one heck of a lot of amperes buzzing away up there
in <br>
that wet fog.... no way that can be safe. What kind of yahoo in charge
<br>
doesnt see the major type mismalfunctionary problem and order a fix ? <br>
This goes way beyond whats good for the pianos me thinks.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

I saw the data logger charts and the pictures. Conditions
like that are<br>
unacceptable, and sometimes you just have to say so. Whether
the HVAC<br>
system is old or new, if the relative humidity makes wild
rapid<br>
swings and<br>
sometimes there is fog and condensate in the room, something
is<br>
badly wrong<br>
and needs to be fixed. What is it doing now that cold
weather is on the<br>
way? I wish you well in getting the point across to
the right people.<br>
