[Shop-talk] 110vac outlet question

[Karl Vacek]

Yes, Dave, I see that you're right.  in fact that main Wikipedia article has 
only about 2 sentences.  I'm not a big WIkipedia user, and didn't note that 
the links were marked as "external".  But the external article that the 
Wikipedia article links to does indeed carry the quote that I copied from 
it - I didn't write it.
