Dave Hillman asked:
     
     "How have other electronics manufacturers solved the issue of having 
     the fabric on the operator's chairs not generate a static charge? We 
     are finding that a small charge is building up on the chair seats."
     
     Kevin Seay of Northrop Grumman ESSD replies:
     
     We purchased ESD chairs.  We typically do not check seats for static 
     build up because the operators are grounded through wrist straps.  
     Static charge on a chair is no different than a charge on shoes or any 
     other part of an operator's clothing. The important issue is wrist 
     strap grounding.
