Majestic/Alan, Gentlemen,
read the thread carefully again, then read your posts. you are painting everyone with the same brush, which will discourage any other people who want to volunteer technical information, as the approach you have both adopted appears to be that any technical advice that does not fit in with any particular manufacturers aspirations is slagging the competition off.
99% of pole operators do not use electronic remote control gadgets as offered on this site by Peterf for £45. My advice is simply try a cheap tap for £3.99 from B&Q as it will do the same job as a £45 gadget. Now if that is slagging off PeterF, or informing those who are not in the know, what the industry norm is, then I'll stand by my statement and let any readers decide for themselves if I'm offering good advice

What you offered in the first place was irrelevant to the question asked, read the original question from Lewis, he wasnt asking what a real industrial chemist puts on his trolley system, he was asking if anyone had installed a remote control on their system, and then went on to ask if anyone could recommend any brand for him to pursue, I told him about mine. He had obviously worked out for himself that there would be some kind of advantage, If I hadnt replied you wouldnt have bothered with your little rant.
The only reason you volunteered your information was to try and belittle me for offering him a remote control at £45.00. Why else would you offer information? Certainly not for the good of anyone else on this board, you don't work like that, anyone with half a brain has worked that one out.
And to put the record straight I dont use the remote control on van systems for reasons known to me, but I wouldnt put out a trolley system without one, also for reasons known to me, and if in the future, if you ever develop a trolley system, you may one day work out the advantages.
I would ask you what the real industrial chemists interpretation of the Latin phrase was, but I wont bother as I probably wont get a reply anyway. I think you better get your book out and look up the meaning again.
Peter
