Re: Question over old outlets

I remember the timeline a little differently:

1962 NEC 210-21. Outlet Devices.
(b) Receptacles. Receptacle installed on 15 ampere and 20 ampere branch-circuits shall be of the grounding tiype and they shall be installed in accordance with Section 210-7. The Installation of grounding type outlets shall not be used as a requirement that all portable equipment be of the grounded type.
