Default Re: Old electrical fittings

Unfortunately plugs turn up more often than sockets these days, It may be of interest that Crabtree i think made plugs with slieved pins as is reglation today ,well before the war , and i think they also had a locking mechanism to the earth pin so that it could not be unplugged without switching off first . I have only seen the plugs though . The only shuttered round pin sockets i have seen yet have been post war .
