[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 538087, member: 2189"] All this "petcock" talk makes me wonder when the PC crowd will kill this term. You think I'm being funny but I'll give you a fact. The electric motor has a wiring box on it's side and is called a "peckerhead" as for the 30 plus years I've being doing industrial maintenance, it's always been called that. A few months ago, I was talking with my PE District manager about an issue when I referred to the motor "peckerhead" at which time he informed me that this term was no longer accepted and I should reframe from using it. He gave me some other name to call it but hell with that. I'm calling it a peckerhead until it reaches critical mass. And BTW, this manager thought it was silly too but his warning was for me to just look out for the company PC types. The future of the petcock may be headed for the same. You've been warned! :happy-very: [/QUOTE]
