The wires in my house are all two-conductor BX cable and it's all 110 volt service (across hot-neutral).

If I can borrow a digi-cam, I will certainly take pictures. :-)

Of course I can't tell what the colors are because the insulation on the wire is the cloth-covered rubber type and is quite black because of the dirt (and the heat).

By the way Tex, are pigtail sockts like the one pictured also used in Europe or do you take a standard socket from a lamp and a shortpiece of two-conductor lamp cord and put it all together (home-made pigtail)?
