Please do not rely on any information in this article yet. It has not been checked, peer reviewed, or even proof read

various changes

(Mainly FAO John Rumm)

In the Wiki way I have made changes to your excellent article rather than merely suggesting them. If you don't like some you can change them back. If you don't like any you can revert them all (go to the history page, select the previous revision, edit it and save it without any changes (except a note in the Summary to say what you're doing). (You may find this technique useful for reverting spam on the talk page, which I see you've been diligently doing. Oh, so maybe you already know how to do this ...).

Well done John!

Thanks for the tweaks, you are right it looks so much better in English! ;-) (Its easy to get carried away getting all the stuff you want to say down, such that the language can get a bit hammy in places).

Not spotted anything that I would want to change back either....

Poxy search and replace ;-)

Yup, sorry about the metre/meter did a search and replace and forgot about the use of multimeter in there!
