Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions
I've never seen a BC plug with the ability to include an earth connection. Perhaps there was a lead emerging from the side, with a croc clip for clipping to an earthed metal object?
But this sounds highly implausible - if the earthed metal object was only tenuously earthed, then a fault in the appliance could make this object live. Also, the distance from the lamp fitting to such an object would be indeterminate anyway, hardly practical for a portable plug-in appliance.
If the appliance needed an earth, I'm sure a much more practical approach would have been a separate earth connection lead from the appliance itself.
