See what your think of this installation. It was across the aisle from the booth where I was sitting and I happened to have my camera. I was impressed by the way the load connections goes back into the wall and the apparent lack of a Romex source cable. It looks like they used lamp cord to feed the receptacle installation.

Regards,
Tom Mason

Am I seeing things or is that a ground pin broken off in the bottom duplex?

Are the receptacles wrapped in duct tape? The tape looks silver in color.

What's holding the box to the wall? It seems like it's just dangling in there. [Linked Image]

Interesting to see that they used 20 amp devices.

The beige power cord probably goes to one of these things [Linked Image]
