Through the years since the use of electricity in the home, there have been many nasty accidents and even deaths because of this seemingly innocent action. And now with television, there is beginning another long line of innocent actions which are causing injuries and deaths. v Allan McKino The charge from a TV Picture Tube is greater than that of the electric chair. Still, it is surprising how many times we at McHENRY TV find the panel board missing or just hanging loose on television sets. This is the only obstacle from keeping children away from live current.
