[ARC5] standards

[Robert Eleazer]

Note that with airplanes the PIC always sits on the Left - but that in some cases the PIC sits on the right in helicopters.

I have a Chinese made power strip that is designed to be more "universal" - it has a place for an extra blade to be inserted in each receptacle.  And universal it is!  Nothing fits it!  The plugs all just fall out - it's too loose to hold them.  Even spreading the blades does not help enough.

  How come on a boat the person steering sits on the right? (As far as I know, all over the world)

      But in Europe the navigation markers are green on the right when returning to harbor whereas in North America it's "red, right, returning"?

      What irks me are the different width of the blades in a standard electrical plug/receptacle. With some appliances like timers, night lights, etc. it's impossible to  plug everything in unless you grind the wide blade narrow enough to plug in either way
