Does anyone have any good stories/anecdotes about bypassed control and protection systems or ways in which control has been achieved in innovative or unusual ways?
I am doing a short presentation as part of our graduate training scheme (me being the graduate) and I was planning to use some stories on the lighter side of control engineering.
I work in the oil & gas industry but I think some of the best stories come from farmers - electricians frequently comment on how often they find blown motors etc. and when they check the fuse they find no.8 (about 2.5mm thick) wire put in fuses to stop them blowing! there must be all sorts of stories about fancy control system set-ups that didn't work which were replaced by something very basic that did the job better. anything that seems to relate post it here.
Thanks
