We all know that the modern design Square D breaker which has a flat bar clamp is specifically designed to accept two wires.
I've found this twice in the last 2 weeks. Late 1950's Square D pane with two styles of connectors on the HO-type breakers. The ones with the copper clamp do not appear to be designed to accept two wires. The other design uses a wide washer with indents in it.
Is this breaker rated for two wire installation?
I'm not an electrician, so I can't remove the breaker to read the side label, if it even has one. Somebody here knows the answer.
