Why do shaver sockets accommodate round pin plugs in the 115V outlet when countries with 100V to 120V mains supplies use type A plugs with flat pins? Is there a country somewhere with a 100V to 120V mains supply that just so happens to use shavers with round pin plugs?
ISTR seeing a 3-wire 220v supply where the voltage across phases was 220v and any phase to neutral 127v in Majorca in the 1980s. Not sure of what our hotel had. Certainly in 1973 we took a dual-voltage hairdryer to Tenerife for our honeymoon, but whether the type C sockets were 220 or 110/127 I cannot remember.
