That is just so wrong on the pun level. However, it was a fuse. My bad in expressing myself and the word choice. :-( It was two types of metal. The outer core was a definitively different metal than the inner core. However, I did not take the time for a metallurgist to come in and tell me what the two metals were. Possibly, and, again, I'm telling you of the experience from back in 2000 or so, the outer core seemed to be copper and the inner was something of softer metal (one you could score with your fingernail). No, I did not touch the active fuse as with my luck I would probably not be here, but the backup fuse on the 'spares' shelf in the junction room. Doesn't anyone think this thread as gone on long enough? P.
