Default Re: Marconi test equip.: mains toggle switches

A quick look at the Marconi kit, both test and broadcast confirms that up is the on position.! I have a lot of Marconi equipment in the collection.

I always understood the logic for this was, if the switch was accidentally knocked, it was safer to have the on in the up position as this is less likely to be knocked to the up position. Or some such argument.
