Open it up -- did they tap larger conductors? Like to see the inside.
One has to be really talented to cut out a perfect opening for the receptacle and the switch. It seems to a manufactured cover.
Now, whether or not it is 20Amp protected is a different story. You amy have larger conductors but still 20Amp protection.
......The equipment grounding conductor stopped at this fitting and was terminated with the screw from the cover. That tells me that they used the raceway as the EGC but when this cover was removed, all bets were off. That's why you are required to bond all conductive materials together as stated in 250.6 (A)(3 thru 5). It may have been allowed at some time but I bet it isn't anymore. Not wired like this anyway.

There are punches made for duplex receptacles.
I would say 250.146 would have, and still allows it.....The equipment grounding conductor stopped at this fitting and was terminated with the screw from the cover.

The MOD Dennis may know......I hear he was around during the edition that may have permitted that setup...lol....maybe 1920's or so...:lol:It's a not so typical 20 amp circuit. I have a hard time believing that these condulet covers are listed for this use. I'm just curious if this is still allowed and if it ever was. I plan on visiting the NFPA web site and going through the older versions of the NEC, just thought someone might know off the top of their head.
