The Mason Dixon Line only extends to the southwest
corner of Pennsylvania, not all the way across the
U.S.A. :-)

Let me clarify that my response is intended only in jest and is
not intended as a critical response. (I don't know how well
emoticons work on this list-server.)

Subject: Re: NRTL North of the 40th parallel - Off Topic
I know I'm getting pedantic here. The 40th parallel runs across
the middle of the United States. U.S. Cities north of the 40th
parallel include Northbrook Illinois, Newtown Connecticut, Peabody
Massachusetts, Courtland New York and a few other headquarter
cities of test laboratories on OSHA's NRTL list. A quick check
shows that MET Labs in Blaltimore (at 39 degrees north) is just
about the only NRTL with headquarters south of the 40th parallel.
