I'm not so sure. It has changed once that I know of when they went 
from a three wire plug to four.

After sifting and filtering all the responses, I believe the safest 
and best way to wire a 240 volt circuit is to have the two hot wires 
and a ground wire and not to use a neutral at all. In other words, 
everything on the 240 volt circuit should be made to run from 240 
volts, not 120  volts connected between a hot wire and neutral. If I 
am mistaken on this, please comment.

I try not to take anything for granted. :-)
