humidistat

[Roger Wheelock]

Hi David,

I'll bring it up with, Gayle Mair, my wife and boss.  My initial thought is
that the market might be limited.  A new injection mold for a humidistat
case can run about $15,000.  Add to that the costs of obtaining and
maintaining worldwide electrical safety certifications and the dollars start
to add up quickly.

Roger
