if i remember correctly... the screws are color coded
black screw = black wire-hot <- they also used brass screws for this connection at times
Green Screw = green wire-ground
Silver Screw = white wire-cold
on the cord, the middle wire is the ground. i think the side wire with the ridges on it is the hot(black) and the one without the ridges is the cold(white)
not sure on the cord though.. and my meter is at the shop or i would check it out for ya.
