>I have a question regarding the DIN standards.. I'm sure there is similar
logic applied to the colours (oops gave myself away,eh) used in the wiring
of which the most obvious is that a lead connected directly to ground is
always brown.	I have been able to pick out a lot of the patterns and given
them my own terms but would love to know what the original designations are
supposed to be.

Wow it had never occurred to me logic was involved!  Wouldn't it make life
simpler if the wiring had color standards though?  And then custom stuff
could also follow the standard, making later work that much easier....
