If the neutral side of the line is really neutral. The rule in the
old days, as detailed in most handbooks, was to put the plug in to get
minimum hum. Of course on DC the set would not work if the plug was in
the wrong way. Is there anyplace now with DC current? Was once common on
ships. Must be pretty rare. I think NYC still had some DC until fairly
recently due to elevators and other machinery requiring it.

Yea and now that the 1940s,? 50s, etc have past most people have
polarized outlets, so you now can polarize the plug properly, so you
