In my area (older part of Columbus, OH, with houses built between
about 1910 and 1935), we have lots of the old 60 Amp drops with 3
parallel light gauge wires, and lots of the modern 200 Amp
2-insulated-plus-one-uninsulated bundles.  I haven't seen any 400 Amp
drops, but I suppose I wouldn't be able to distinguish them from 200
Amp drops by sight.
