I was wondering if anybody on the net had any historical information on why Europe is 50Hz? Did the standards for each country get set at the same time? Was it political, to keep our products from interfering in their market place? Thanks for any information. Andrew Kinsman rutgers!rochester!kodak!ektools!kinsman Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y.
