    Agricultural

    So got a job to supply a shed from another shed on a farm.  The old overhead supply was pulled down by a tractor driving under it.  The farmer has told me he would raise the catenary higher (supposedly to 6m).  Still will try to persuade him to go underground as its about 20m between sheds.

    hey guys, yeah thought compared to some of past papers that last nights exam was not too bad-only couple of questions didnt have clue about. think thing with this exam is that just knowing the answer isn't enough- its HOW you write it down and if you don't use the exact language and terms then...
