Re: Transformer safety?
People were more wary of that fangled "Lectrickery" stuff then. It bit if you got too close, just like the then common open fire did. Most accidents aren't fatal though, and there was more of a "won't do that again" attitude than today's litigious and instantly broadcast one. It's inconceivable that there were less accidents overall though. The risk to us is that the old standards and attitudes, that we accept, are now judged by modern attitudes. You can't uninvent things.
