One of my co-workers has a copy of the 1925 NEC. One of the things that we noticed was that there is a requirement that all devices, switches, etc. have the feed connected at the top and the load at the bottom.
I was taught that this is the "right" way to wire a toggle switch. But, that it is done as a courtesy for the next electrician.
Any old timers remember when this was removed from the NEC?
Are there other examples of things that are trade conventions that have been removed from the code?
