oxyprobe, a low cost alternative

Hello,

I've rather lost track of when & where a fellow Clayarter
is due to get his work published and when, but I am aware
of a paper suggesting and supporting the use of a readily
available and (very) low cost means to get "oxyprobe" like
readings. In fact he has a Oxyprobe and did, what I think,
was a careful and systematic comparison to oxyprobe with
results that I remember being most encouraging. We were
chatting about this back in August so the article may be out....
however it is for him to say..... I'm just hoping that if there
are folks about to pop for such a device, that they may wait
a bit longer until this fellow is ready to make his report known.

My "new" 1973 WCS 110 is going to be equipped with his
device, but I'm not going to fire until I get over the shed, ITC
coatings, shelves, propane hook-up and other hurdles.
Before the winter winds blow, I hope.

Best,

george
