# QLIPS

We have all had that “crashing” experience with the QL. and wonder now often the crash is our own fault? My own little beast burden had a problem at one time, but after some operation on its innards, the crashing was not quite so frequent, until recently that when I installed plastic carpet saver under my chair. This, combined with our present day mixture of wool and man-made fabrics, both in our upholstery and our clothing, made an ideal breeding ground for STATIC.
