Answer to Question 1

Whenever possible, attach the test leads to the conductors with the circuit de-energized. This can be done with alligator clip type test leads. Always connect the neutral test lead first and then the hot test lead last. The circuit may then be energized for the reading to be taken. Once the reading has been obtained the circuit may once again be de-energized and the test leads removed by disconnecting the hot lead first and the grounded lead last.

Answer to Question 2

Two wires for control power and two wires for communication.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
