	110
What does the term 110 refer to in the 110 wiring block ? I have been told that it refers to the contacts within the block. Is this the case?? Luke

Dear Luke, Honestly I never thought about that, however, please don't be mislead: 110-type block can have anywhere between 25 and 300 pairs of contacts, depending on actual product. I think the name is just a designation of the design project by AT&T (Western Electric back then) that preceeded 1973 patent on 110-type termination system. Sincerely, Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
