I am told that would be very rare once in sync. difficult to get low enough excitation to fall out. Anyway, with the number of T2s about it was more commonly a too hasty operation of that lever (I usually partook of a seven bell breakfast).

(I, like many lecky's and even Electrical Engineers proper have never heard pole slip, I am told one would know it if one felt it. Most T2 engineers will have, whether they knew that or not is another matter).
