I didn't write the above... but...
This is what you have for some shaker tables. On larger floors they rig up
telephone stations and shake them into pieces. If you have done your
(mechanical) design well it can survive something like the Bay Area earth
quake. The guys who do this over here where able to show a telephonestation
where all racks where hanging in the cables after the Kobe earth quake, and
was still operational!

Let's shake it oh baby now, twist and shout!

Don't mind the THD, mind your own house ;)
