   You don't have to do much.  Just tell the youngster doing the work.   
      
   Connect the load cell here.  Connect the magnetometer here.  Mercury and   
   mechanical tamper switches go in last, and the last thing you connect is   
   the latching circuit, and no matter what you do don't flip the power   
   switch until you are sure it where you want it and it won't move.

   ----------------------------------------   
   Much of the custom equipment I built was intensively but not extensively   
   complex or physically large, a one man job. When a project was big enough to   
   need several assemblers the documentation usually broke it down to match,   
   such as assembling and wiring a control box after all the individually   
   numbered wires had been run into it. This was before DIN rail when the relay   
   sockets etc had to be individually bolted to the back plate and the wires   
   terminated with crimp lugs. Doing everything myself saved enormously in   
   documentation, test and debugging time. Perhaps quick delivery was why the   
   small NH company won a large share of the GM and Chrysler automotive   
   electronics test station business. Only Ford designed their own, in-house.
