Well ditto to that, as far as experience goes. But I have never seen a
2-pin outlet in Australia. A 2-pin plug in a double insulated appliance
- yes, but never an ungrounded socket. I welcome other Australians to
correct me, but I have worked on installations (almost) as old as
electricity itself. I have somewhere a history of our 3-pin outlet. Not
sure if it is as old as your 1922 standard though! :-)

However, I have seen many 2-pin (ungrounded) outlets in my travels
around the United States. Did I imagine these?

Regards,

Sean
