Re: yoke
rgaddy,
Never mind the clowns. . .
Are you referring to the use of "yoke" when describing work with devices (switches, receptacles, etc.) at outlet boxes?
Yoke shows up eleven times in the 2002 NEC.
This is one of the terms that isn't directly defined in the NEC. The opening to Article 100 tells us to use the dictionary for this one, IMO.
Take a look at Article 100 and the definition of
Receptacle.
Also, look at the other uses of the word in: </font>
