<VV> Testing a snap switch

[J R Read_HML]

That sounds more like what I would expect - temp wise.  So how do you test 
it?  Wait for momma to leave and put it in the oven?  Leave it on the car 
and hit it with a propane torch?  What is the recommended test method? 
OR.... does it not really matter because the heads will have started to 
droop from softness long before the snap switch snaps?

Later, JR
