Hello Fellow Mayberrians,

I appreciate the AC posts.  I think you hit it on the head, Mike.  I, too, 
think that Andy was probably referring to the *intensity* of the AC, rather 
than the temperature.  If I said "we need more AC," that might also be 
expressed as "turn the AC up" as in *increasing* it.  Those older AC units had 
those switches, not to mention bigger wires, so it was more of a manual 
(Manuel?) procedure.  
I wonder if Emmett might know more about that?  Did he work on AC's?  

Over and Under,
Clyde "Barn"
