I too will get on the band wagon of pictures - some of them can be either really funny or just plain laughable.
Like this one:

Or this 240 outlet?

And ask the questions that arise from them?

Scim over the parts that you and your crew don't get involved with and open it to discussion when you get to something they are interested in.
Ask open ended questions such as, what do you think of this requirement, or why do you think they had to put that in the Code.
One example I like is the definition of Fountain in 680. "...does not include drinking fountains." Why do you think that is in the Code ?
Pizza and beer helps.
Alan--

The top picture does seem to be an innovative way to deal with expansion in the PVC riser. If I wasn't worried about abrasion protection I might be OK with it.

BTW I have seen the 240v receptacle you show. One of our CEs had a 5-15 cap with both circuit prongs blown clean off with a shirt sleeve to match. We didn't want to see his shorts.
Someone had labelled it "floor buffer only" and that seemed to be all they thought you had to do. The ferro-resonant power supply in the keypunch tried to make it 120 but no joy.

which book did you get?

i am interested in getting the whole library.

any thoughts on that?

Thanks
