[AT] Shhhh! Quiet==electrical

[CEE VILL]

I guess with 5 amp one could have one of those little night lights like my wife sticks in our outlets, or maybe a whole string of Christmas tree bulbs.  Those would be the bulbs in series, where when one blew, the entire string went out.  Those were    "the good old days."   I am always entranced by the methods used to build this entire nation.  Horses, slip scrapers, steam power, solid rubber tire trucks, human labor, etc.  Today, nothing can happen without a several million dollar engineering study.  Funny how that works.

> Thirty Amp!  Wow!  You had power to spare.  My next door neighbor had 5 amp 110 volt service on their house when me moved there.  It got upgraded to 220 volt service and the power company left the old meter.  I "glommed" onto it and wired it up so I could check the power usage on some of the simple appliances.  Unfortunately, the meter was so small that you couldn't use it for something like a refrigerator or window air conditioner, so it wasn't as handy as it could have been.
