Note: Most American ballast manufacturers describe some of their ballasts as "NPF" (Short for "Normal Power Factor"), but this is misleading, as power factor can only be high or low, not "normal". The Littere Wallie records the existence of 4 "balistas ad turrimi" at "Duluithelan" Castle in 1280, [14] one "balistam de tur" at "Rothelano" castle [15] and one "magnam ballistam" at "Bere Blada" Castle in 1286.
