What was the role of Mirage Manufacturing in the development of Marine Lightning Protection products?
Thomson: There has always been a close collaboration between Mirage and MLP. While we have been developing the Siedarc line of sparking electrodes, Mirage President Ken Fickett has acted as a sounding board, helped out with the prototype development, and given pragmatic advice from the point of view of the boat builder. During the installation on John Henry, Mirage engineer Bill Wilcox tackled the very difficult job of routing the lightning cables and making the interconnections. For example, when connecting a tinned copper wire to an aluminum handrail it is imperative to take account of the potential for galvanic corrosion.
