Indeed it has Dave. That's heartening.

I assume that your opinion of the test guys has improved according to your
latest statement.

My position is nicely summarised in that final paragraph. So if you attack
me, you attack by proxy one of the authors of the paper.
I'm gratified that at least one of the testers had his head screwed on. I
woke up this morning thinking about a wire through the bench into the control
box. Hartman is my kind of guy.

A Swedish correspondent sent me this link:
http://www.energikatalysatorn.se/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=560&sid=5450c28dab532569dee72f88a43a56f0&start=330
This is a discussion in Swedish, which Google does a good job translating.
Before you translate it, you will see that in the middle of it is a message
from one of the authors, Torbjörn Hartman, in English. Here it is, with a few
typos corrected.
QUOTE:
Remember that there were not only three clamps to measure the current on
three phases but also four connectors to measure the voltage on the three
phases and the zero/ground line. The protective ground line was not used and
laid curled up on the bench. The only possibility to fool the power-meter then
is to raise the DC voltage on all the four lines but that also means that the
current must have an other way to leave the system and I tried to find such
hidden connections when we were there. The control box had no connections
through the wood on the table. All cables in and out were accounted for. The
E-cat was just lying on the metal frame that was only free-standing on the
floor with no cables going to it. The little socket, where the mains cables
from the wall connector where connected with the cables to the box and where we
had the clamps, was screwed to the wood of the bench but there was no screws
going through the metal sheet under the bench. The sheet showed no marks on it
under the interesting parts (or elsewhere as I remember it). Of course, if the
white little socket was rigged inside and the metal screws was long enough to
go just through the wood, touching the metal sheet underneath, then the bench
itself could lead current. I do not remember if I actually checked the bench
frame for cables connected to it but I probably did. However, I have a close-up
picture of the socket and it looks normal and the screws appear to be of normal
size. I also have pictures of all the connectors going to the powermeter and of
the frame on the floor. I took a picture every day of the connectors and cables
to the powermeter in case anyone would tamper with them when we were out.
I lifted the control box to check what was under it and when doing so I
tried to measure the weight and it is muck lighter than a car battery. The box
itself has a weight, of course, and what is in it can not be much.
All these observations take away a number of ways to tamper with our
measurements but there can still be things that we "didn't think of" and that
is the reason why we only can claim "indications of" and not "proof of"
anomalous heat production. We must have more control over the whole situation
before we can talk about proof.
Best regards,
Torbjörn
