Correction: At 00:13:11, Chris mentions “50 cycles per second” when referring to early electrical systems in Canada. The correct figure is 25 cycles per second. At the time, some parts of Canada—particularly in Ontario—operated on 25 Hz power before the country standardized to 60 Hz. While certain regions may have used 50 Hz at various points, it was not the primary standard in Ontario during that period.
