so some useless knowledge is an inevitable occupational illness.....
Interesting! I used to work for a German company, Bitzer International. We sold reciprocal and screw compressors around the world for HVAC and refrigeration. As you say, like most of Europe. Well, South America will has countries with 50Hz and 60Hz and several different voltages. So you can only imagine how many different brochures that we had to produce and also get the correct electric motors sent out.
Trains are another whole story. I had a book about 15 years ago about trains around the world. Some are AC and some are DC with all different voltages. Did you know that in India there are probably 5 or 6 different track widths, the smallest being 24 inches wide. When it comes to trains, there are no standards.
