Re: Bakelite Hairdryers
Bayonet adaptors were very common then, my grandmother's house only had one 2 pin 5a socket downstairs, everything else was plugged into the light. Remember the 2 way adaptors so you could have the light and appliance on at the same time, often this was a 600w bowl fire, the adaptor often had a switch on it with a dangling cord so you could save electricity by turning the light off in the daytime while still using the appliance.
