David, that sounds bang-on to me. Now why didn't I think of that?

In the discussion of the lunar hopper control panel, you mentioned a Test switch. This might be a "lamp test" that briefly lights all indicators on the panel so the operator can be sure none are burned out. (When you start most cars today they turn on all the instrument cluster indicators for a second or two for the same reason.)
