Apprentice with a tape measure problem

But wasn't the yellow stripe added to the green for the benefit of the colour blind, whether they be electricians or customers? If there aren't any color blind electricians, why is there a yellow stripe on the earth wire sleeving? First activity after being accepted as an electrical engineering apprentice was a session with the company doctor and the Ishihara colour vision test. -- Tim Lamb |

But wasn't the yellow stripe added to the green for the benefit of the colour blind, whether they be electricians or customers? Yes, again. If there aren't any color blind electricians, why is there a yellow stripe on the earth wire sleeving? As opposed to flex? Why have two standards? The whole idea was to have just one. -- *Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
