When two terminal blocks are aligned alongside each other, there must be room for twenty wires (10 wires from each block) to lie in the channel between the two blocks. This will become more evident in our pictures as wiring progresses.

Plate 217: Preparing for construction of a power distribution center, Part 3: home location, east face
(This plate added NOV 2003)
|
This view is similar to Plate 216,
but we are looking at the east face of the layout. From this viewpoint, we can see that the terminal
blocks are not "jammed together" - they are spaced slightly apart from each other. This is because we must leave room to "channel"
the wires that attach to each side of each block.
