Thanks FortyNiner. I clicked on the site you posted, now have it saved, and was able to read Mark Kicsak's article. Plan to get back at it again tomorrow.

Thanks for the offer Woodie. Graeme has emailed them to me and hopefully tomorrow when my office opens we can enlarge them.

Every week or so I had to relocate the batteries as only one was being charged. I came up with a system using a solenoid...

Stenny: I think you are correct. I forgot about Monarchs as they have been gone for years. My merc will have a Monarch ring which will be a topic of conversation.
