Default Re: Old electrical fittings

Hi Peter, In my parents house, which was wired in the 30's, the only 3 pin 5 A socket outlet was of the interlocked type, with porcelain base and bakelite cover. The switch toggle could not be switched ON until the plug was inserted. The plug could not be withdrawn until the switch was OFF. This was typical of the sockets in the NE of England at that time. I'll see if I can find a sample in the spares box.
