Well, if memory serves me correctly (no parity errors, etc.), the SJT
refers to the plug type: two flat conductors with the semi-rounded ground
connector. Air conditioner plugs are different, for example; they have the
thicker prongs, with the two flat conductors being colinear instead of
parallel ( -.- as opposed to '.'). Oh, well...
