You may assume nominal impedance of 2.5 Ohms and
compliance with IEC/EN/BS EN 60268-5.

Probably not.  Duke Ellington used the term
"Cordially"  in letters written from the 1950s
onwards.  I have such a letter which he wrote
to me in 1965  I liked the term so much that I
started to use it soon after I had met the great
man.

Cordially,
