I was watching a guy on YouTube who was repairing a vintage radio from the 40's. He happens to be in Canada and the radio he was working on had an unusually large power transformer. He said that was because it was designed to operate off 25Hz power. That became clearer when someone in the comments said something like his father worked in Michigan and when he looked across the river at Ontario, there was a noticeable flicker in the lighting. He said Ontario used 25Hz until sometime in the 50's. Anybody heard of this and why did they use 25Hz?
