[chbot] Skunkworks ventilators in NZ?

[Mark Atherton]

Thanks Andy.

Please can we keep all comms to this channel for the moment please.

Graham has asked that I manage all of his requests.

First request: "Does anyone have a 'magnehelic gauge' with limits 
greater than ±5" water". Basically this is a differential pressure 
gauge; yes a water based manomenter could be used, but space and 
resilience are an issue.
