Re: AVO Multimeter survey
Radio Dave,
I'm not sure what the official "line" on this is; PMMunro might have the deep theory, precise answer. My instincts, which I always follow, is to store them horizontally; that way, I imagine, the bearings shouldn't "learn" any "bad habits" - though the weight of the moving coil (negligible) will always be on the lower jewel.
Which reminds me of the question "Have you ever noticed how, when cows are grazing, their heads always point in the same direction ?"
With "direction" we instinctively think in terms of North, South, East and West; towards or away from the sun ? Backs to the wind or the rain ?
The answer (trivial and obvious) is simply "Downwards !"
