In just the last few years I have been looking at the older equipment
(some in the mid 1960s) and they were 2 wire devices. They had the
switch on one side of the transformer and the fuse on the other side.
I don't know about the code or why it was done that way. I would have
thought the fuse would come first on the hot wire and then the switch.
Much of the equipment is ham radio related and most users would have a
good connection of the chassis to the earth ground.
Because in the end, it's a series circuit. It doesn't make a damn bit of
difference.
Primarily, it was done from a "Is this the cheapest and easyist (also
cheapest) way to do it this way?"
