I checked on the DG Box I use (Model 2+). Mine has just 2 fuses
(numbered 1&2), and they're both 3/4A 250V 312. The LINE fuse is 2A
250V 312.  I don't know what those mean, because I don't know anything
of electric/ electronics...

If you also need istructions on how to use the Polhemus inside the
box, let me know.

I have a favour to ask. Could you please take some photos of the Exos
DHM (with and without a human hand inside, from some points of view)
and send them to me?? I am desperately seeking a good picture of an
DHM (because I am a journalist) and I can't find it. It would be great
for me to receive them. Thanks a lot!

Best regards (and Happy New Year!)
