This is what the low-ball wire pullers used to get away with in newly
electrified areas in the late forties, instal a service panel
consisting of a two pole disconnect switch with two 15A fuses fed from
the single hot wire.

You still see those around here. Because peekskill has natural
gas, there are still houses with 60 amp 120 volt service around.
When they sell, typically banks will not write mortgages on them
until the service is upgraded.
