what does that mean, like soldering to an eggshell, can you break the cob or something?
i had a good laugh reading this citizen pdf:

echoed for truth, thanks Jorge for this thread.
i think he forgot the word when and meant except when there is no cob in the holder. serial circuit, so like the cob inside it, the holder doesn't get the total circuit voltage.
