Around here many homes built in the early 60's do not have grounds in
the box. The last two houses I have owned have not had a ground, and
they were built in '60 and '62. They use the cloth covered 2 wire
romex. All of the early '60s houses I looked at were the same, but
one built in '69 did have 3 wire romex.
