Default Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions

'Posh' side of town, eh?

A glance through the 1929 'Sunco' catalogue finds component reference to 'competitive' installations, which I take to mean tendering for contracts, and components suitable for 'high-grade installation work' - which I take to mean the posh side of town: country houses, more salubrious residences, etc...

I was looking at lampholders, but the above applies to plugs and sockets. I particularly like the description which says: '...Designed to meet the modern requirements where lampholders are employed to carry the comparatively heavy load of irons, kettles, toasters, bowl fires, etc...'
