Interesting about the bridges even if nothing whatever to do with power! One of the links reports "being revised," so I'll take another look sometime soon.

Re the floating adjacent terminals, just imagine if high-impedance DVMs had been around when these systems were being installed. That could have provided hours of amusement for someone trying to figure out what was going on!

Is there any particular reason for the "network service" designation? It seems a rather vague term to me, although I suppose it's shorter than "two phases from a three-phase service."

Another totally unrelated query, but as we're talking about Con Edison, do they still distribute their waste steam under NYC's streets for heating?
