Dear Vince, 

Thank you for your 2cents worth. It is much appreciated.  Maybe ole' Bob took 
pity on a newbie?

I have a CS maker of the simplest kind that works with 3 x 9v batteries but the 
CS  I make is not good because I have been using salt in the water.    I bought 
a few bottles of CS  & will use some to prime the water but your comment on 
wide anode  setups has intrigued me & I shall try to find info in the Archives 
& hopefully someone in this group will send me particulars. 

Regards,
Jules.
