Actually, you can thank the porn industry for eliminating BetaMax, they choose VHS, so VHS won. Go figure.

Ha, I was about to say the same thing. I recently learned that from the podcast "Penn Says" (Penn Jillette from Penn & Teller).
 
I used to install 8-tracks when they were the new thing, and cassettes were for voice.

8-tracks started out as 4-track 'carts' used by radio stations for commercials and stuff.

VHS (Video Home System) won over Beta because VHS had longer record time than Beta.

Oh, and there was plenty of porn released on Beta video, not to mention shot on it.

I have mine on Eukanuba, and he seems to be doing well.

Not to mention the rise of the internet (and I swear I read it in an article many years ago)

I'm sure video cameras and digital still cameras were conceived in the porn industry as well.

OK, that was a poor choice of words. :smile:

In the 1959 NEC, 220-4(h) Small Appliances-Dwelling Occupancies. In single-family dwellings, in individual apartments of multi-family dwellings having provisions for cooking by tenants, and in each hotel suite having a serving pantry, a feeder load of not less that 3,000 watts shall be included for small appliances (portable appliances suupplied from receptacles of 15 or 20 ampere rating) in pantry and breakfast-room, dining room, kitchen and laundry. Were the load is subdivided through two or more feeders, the computed load for each shall include not less than 3,000 watts for small appliances. These loads may be included with the general lighting load and subject to the demand factors in Paragraph 220-4 (a).:grin:

No, that's sexist. If it had been a cook, or someone who used the kitchen extensively, it would have been 5 circuits.

Actually, its 220.3(b):

Receptacle Circuits, Dwelling Occupancies. For the small appliance load in kitchen, laundry, pantry, dining-room and breakfast-room of dwelling occupancies, two or more 20 ampere branch circuits in addition to the branch circuits specified in Paragraph 220-3(a) shall be provided for all receptacle outlets (other than outlets for clocks) in these rooms, and such circuits shall have no other outlets.

220.4 is for load calculations.:wink:

No. One requires the circuits. The other tells you the information you need to calculate the feeder/service size.
