Dave, just to add credence to the argument, George seems to be bent on perpetuating, please see below. Some relevant information for you, as if you weren't aware of it already, I was there the voltage was measured at 110 60 Hz we had a Stabiliser at our intake set at a steady state of 110V 60 Hz backed up by a UPs built for us by UK company, no expense spared. Say no more.

The standard voltage of a home electrical outlet in the United States is 120 volts, although the actual voltage supplied may be as low as 110 volts, due to line conditions.
plus or minus 5% should be added. i.e.114 to 126v. 110 volts is out of tolerance.
Of course it is possible to be out of spec on long lines just as it is here where I have seen 195v on a farm.
I thought you said you were in Canada not the US!! But how long ago. 110v was used pre war.
