An interesting side note about the Belden cords that I found
in a web search:

"
The Eberline Instruments using the non-standard AC cord are listed on
page two of this bulletin. Belden power cord model #17280 has standard
polarity per UL 817 and CSA 895B and should NOT be used on the Eberline
instruments listed. Belden model #17952 has polarity, neutral and lines
reversed and is the only cord to be used on the Eberline Instruments
listed. The non-standard cords come from the manufacturer with a paper
label stating that they have reversed polarity but the labels are
susceptible to damage and are easily lost.
"

Later
Dwight
