Re: Another microwave story

In the late 70s I used to visit one of our company's mainframe sites, in an industrial unit which backed onto the West Coast Main Line about a mile north of Euston.

The side of the building facing the railway had to be covered with mesh to cope with the EMF induced by the passing trains.

The door of the fire exit had to be metal-covered too, though anyone using it was directly in line to be clobbered by the 10:34.
