So Kind at Heart
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the road-side eating grass. Disturbed, he
ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat
grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said. "But sir, I have a wife and two
children with me. They are over there, under that tree." "Bring them along." the lawyer replied.
Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also." The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I
also have a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once under way, one of the poor
fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind, thank you for taking all of us with you.
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place; the grass is almost a metre high!!"

problems with the run. The suggested content for this table is as shown below with typical values for a run with
a multi-zone VAV system. If anyone has any comments or suggestions they would be appreciated
