Did you get much rain...?
Not compared to all those poor unfortunate souls closer to the coast. Outermost rain band only, a measly six inches of rain here, and winds strong enough to blow over my barbecue grill. The goats out back were displeased.
The worst secondary effect of it came suddenly, yesterday afternoon (thursday), thanks to the media over-reporting that most Houston oil refineries are shutting down (temporarily). It is 1973 all over again around here. Gas stations out of gas, lines around the block of those that still have some, fistfights between customers cutting in line.... Bunch o' gasholes.
The shortage is complete nonsense, almost as if the media all got together and colluded in some giant sociology experiment on the public. And it worked. The ebb and flow of the fuel supply from the local depot to the stations, is not geared for everybody topping off at the same time, so stations ran out. The media sensationalizes these long lines, adding positive feedback to the situation, making it worse.
It is hysterical how adding hysteresis drives people to an historic level of hysterics. [/topic swerve]
@ madswitcher:
Do we even know if the relays are necessary in this design, whatever it is? Your link shows each switch being DPDT, this should cover most possibilities.
Nice to know that these are still available, for nostalgic reasons, thanks. I tried searching Mouser, but it was a rabbit hole.

What was their function on a Neve console?
