What is it anyway? Something Rube Goldberg himself might have invented?? No, it is actually a tradeshow exhibit! It is one of Catherine's trade school lab projects, and includes a variety of single-pole, three-way, and four-way switches, lights, switched and always-hot receptacles.
One day a friend suggested to Catherine that she include an interactive display in Little Sparkie Electric's booth at a recent show. So she hatched the idea of dressing up and using the "toyboard", as the lab project is known around the shop (where it is used every day). John painted it, printed the logo and fastened it to the board, and the display was ready for public view. It continues to be a huge hit, especially with children.
