Dave, that wiring method is as old as my mother in law and hasnt been NEC code legal for yearsssssssssssss. The proper NEC and state of the art and trade name/reference for modern house wiring is 120/240 Volt, Single Phase, 3 wire. It is an earth grounded system NOT a floating service. At the service transformer the Neutral is earth grounded (also grounded on high voltage primary side if a Y service) then again at the service entrance. ONLY at the main service entrance are the Neutral and Ground Busses bonded together (NOT at sub panels) and the Neutral is bonded to a grounding electrode which leads to the earth ground reference like a made ground such as a driven ground rod. Nowwwww 3 phase can be either Wye (which is usually earth grounded) or Delta (which is usually floated although I have corner grounded them). A 3 Phase 4 Wire Wye circuit carries 3 hots, a Neutral, and an equipment ground. At the service entrance the Neutral and Ground busses are bonded, same as in the 1 Phase 3 Wire home system. Typical of voltages are 208 Y 120 or 480 Y 277. A 3 Phase 3 Wire floating Delta circuit carries 3 hots and an equipment ground (has no Neutral). Typical of voltages are 240 or 480. There can also be a hot or high leg 120/240 volt 3 phase 4 wire Delta configuration in which one transformer has a center Neutral which is earth grounded and off that transformer one gets 120 volt single phase (2 legs) or 240 volt single phase. Hope this helps yall John T (retired electrical engineer who designed secondary power distribution systems)

Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
