Default Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions

A colleague of mine worked in the design office of Dorman Smith (no and) and knew the designer of the DS plugs.

Evidently he was quite a perfectionist and it took them such a long time to get the fused version to market that the BS 1363 was firmly ensconced.

They were widely used in the new council estates which sprang up before and after WW2, I met them frequently during the 1960s in Huntingdonshire anyway.
