Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions
Some extracts from the 1893 GEC catalogue. The references to the capacity of the 2 pin sockets as "lights" must surely be a typo for "amps" as is used to describe the ratings of the coax sockets: amps => lamps => lights?
The exposed live centre pin is an "interesting" feature of the coax socket: at that time 110V was the greatest voltage used, and it seems that private installations often used around 50V, so this might not have been a problem.
