Hi All,
It's the late hour, or early onset senility, or both:
On the back of a piece of hardware, I have a "receptacle" that the power cord connects into... is the correct term "socket"? You then connect the power cord to the power mains....
It's been ages since I documented hardware, but "receptacle" simply does not seem like the correct terminology.
Thanks!
Deborah
