Default Re: 13A Plugs old and not so old

I remember a "Rock" plug like that, in a pale shade of grey, at my parents' house. I think it was a type where connections were made by wrapping the wire around a threaded stud, then screwing a capnut down onto it. A bit like a poor person's version of an MK plug.

I can't even remember what it was attached to, they got rid of it so long ago .....

Default Old Mains 3 pin Plug

Fitted a new plug to one of my tape recorders. The old removed plug has those Bakelite sprung loaded insulated sleeves at the bottom of the Live & Neutral pins.

It has been a long time since I have seen one of those.

That might just tick all the boxes for the modern sleeved pin regulations.
It must have been expensive in its day.
