- Tip for lab designers: B batteries can be very useful for certain
- undergraduate lab uses; for example, running neon lamps, and other
- things I forget. They're not cheap, but they're cheaper than Hewlett-
- Packard power supplies if you need one for each of 25 lab workstations!
- I used to manage equipment for a teaching lab and I had nearly half a
- shelf of B batteries (the 45 volt kind, I think).
