["Cox, Wiley" <Wiley.Cox@glenayre.com>]

	My relay that I bought (sounds like the same time as noted
below) ALSO has the numbers incorrectly placed on the relay.  If I
follow the diagram on scirocco.org, it's wired wrong for this relay.  If
I wire according to the relay box instructions, everything's bright as
can be. :)
	My advice: Always read (and FOLLOW) the instructions on the
packing materials first. That way, if you blow anything out, you can
blame the company that made it.  :)
