        To your otherwise sound advice, Alfred, permit me to ad that
        all sheet-metal corners should be

                                Well Rounded

        Sharp corners invite dielectric failure from puncture.

        Also - the sheet-metal edges should be filed/dressed if the
        cutting process left any burrs or sharp ridges.

                                        An old smoothie, from
                                        -- Detroit, USA
