I have just re-read yours in Issue 2. A pity it didn't run long enough to exclude the article in topic!
I cannot wholly agree with yours WRT to monitoring equipment. That the nose and ears of the watchkeeper have not been bettered, generally, by CMS I cannot argue but equally the cognisance of a local thermometer or pressure gauge can only be 'updated' by a watchkeeper very occasionally when compared to even the earliest of discreet or scanning CMS.
WRT emergency generators however I am fully behind you. One of my later successful ,lobbies was for the Saturday start/stop to be replaced/augmented by run at a load representative of that in a worst case emergency until all temperatures and pressures had reached stable and acceptable values.
(Good to know we are not just relying on a minority of regulars led by Mr.Grey to keep the magazine sanely on topic).
