Only if that connector is 24" or longer.

I guess the joke was corny!

Reminds me of a joke :
New guy in prison sits down at a table in the mess hall. The guy next to him yells out "256" and everybody cracks up. Another guy yells out "195" and everybody cracks up.
So he asks the guy next to him "what's going on".
He says "It takes so long to tell jokes and we have so little time together so we just gave each joke a number and we can still laugh"
So the new guy yells out "125" but no one laughed.
So he asked the guy next to him "Why didn't anyone laugh"
He said "Some guys can tell jokes and some can't" !!!

Don't forget part two of that one:

Another guy stands up and says "143!"

Everyone laughs and nods, but as the laughter dies down, one guy is still roaring in laughter and rolling on the floor.

"What's up with him?" asks a guy nearby.

His friend responds, "He's never heard that one before."

LOL! A laugh helps the soul! :grin:

Came across this today. Wonder if any of the old timers used to do this?:grin:

I unwrapped all of the grounds extended them and installed a ground bar on the sub-panel these were in.

Remember at one point in time it wasn't all that clear exactly what you were supposed to do with the ground wire. Wrapping it around the clamp screw probably seemed perfectly reasonable at the time.

This was the era right before "cracker jacks" would just cut the ground out of their way!
